What say you to "Ever-Twisting Past Into Now" Poem?

Question

Did you believe in good nightmares?

I tell you demons hide behind every

Tree, every blade of sculptured grass...

The Light hours are more the danger

Laden, Dante hours, Machiavelian Joke...

Tease.

Tease the Light.

Love you so the destruction of Innocents?

You are not innocent.

Love you so haloed mockery?

Know the two-edged blade of folly...

Sit in your chair, sleep till Midnight.

I will not wake you.

I will watch the corners for shadows

Moving toward your dreams

Of demons, preaching from pristine

Pulpits..

Do they preach?

Or, do they laugh at the

Pool of blood

Below your

Chair?

Answer 1

And who is protecting who when the blood is drained?  Yes the daytime carries more danger than nightmares but nightmares carry the unknown.  At least you can awake from them.  Real life???  

Answer 2

I keep hearing Vincent Price reading this! Nice and dark. ;¬)

Answer 3

Cryptic and revealing piece.

Answer 4

Yes.  The past lives within us. You have aptly illustrated this idea in your metaphorical poem.

I no longer have nightmares, good or bad.  

Answer 5

This reminds me of a bad Chatholic priest! Very good!

Answer 6

Very nice, but remind me never to sleep over at your house.

Answer 7

WOW..........

Answer 8

Hungry for light,

I read your words,

Sunk in my own sorrow...

Now I know the light

Is sometimes bad, but...

She is the blue sky now...

...though I fail to see the joy tomorrow...

(your poem was excellent as usual, and inspired these words out of me out of nowhere...as I sit here in this...my darkest hour...thank you...)

Answer 9

Yes it is, it's about me. You even used my real name, and I painted a picture once of an empty chair in a pool of blood with the shadow of the reaper's sickle in the corner on the wall behind it. All you left out was the hand-less clock. This leaves me completely goose-fleshed.

I'm going to go outside and watch the birds for awhile.

(That means I liked it by the way)
