Lord of Nightmares

Lurking in the darkness,
an abyss of terror.
A world of unrelenting pain;
dreams with a fatal error.

Do nightmares really kill,
with daggers made of fear?
Will tainted dreams attack your mind?
Eyes with a bloodstained leer.

Can your world be inverted in horror
in a void of eternal harm?
When the haven of dreams
becomes a chamber of dark charms.

Perhaps he will never meet you
perhaps you will remain in light's care.
But many will not be spared
from the wrath of the Lord of Nightmares.

O.O Okay, first off, I'm not going to sleep for a week after reading this poem. It was cool to read, and it was scary, but it didn't chase me off. It was creepy as well, giving off that creepy aura that some of crave so dearly.

Overall, it was interesting and scary, and I might read it over again!

Forsaken here :D
I know this was posted in April and I'm like two months late, but I only just found it! This is really, really good. I've been reading a lot of poetry lately, and trust me, not everyone was meant for writing it o.o From what I see here, I think you might be :D I definitely want to read more of your work! I don't see any mistakes just from looking at it. If you have anything that you would like me to read and review, don't be afraid to ask. I'd be more than happy to read more of your work. Until then, keep up the great work!

this is really good :) cant wait to hear more from you.

I can't tell if that's sarcasm, based on your name, but I will take it as appraisal.



I hope I’ve never been quoted, tbh
