I, Tortured Sleeper

sleep
tortures
constantly;
I can't escape
riven memories
adumbrated by you;
even coruscating stars
and Luna's sedative magic
cannot banish the travails I face
each night I must repatriate my dreams

Author notes

the only way I will be able to eventually rid of my sadness is to purge it...and so, here I am. I hope this will be acceptable.

    You have a knack for vocab, that's for sure and the trophy is well deserved. It seems, to me, the dreamer has the last word, after all politics, beyond any economic, farther than all artistic endeavor - the dreamer always has the last word. may your efforts at purging be rewarded with peace. Blessings and best wishes, ~richard

    A very well written etheree. I too love this form. There is something about the overall shape of it that brings a certain punch into play. Your words, however are the biggest star here. Very emotional and deep. Good luck in the contest.

    This is an wonderful etheree. I've been waiting for someone to enter a 'form' poem. The verbiage in this is simply stellar! Also, all the raw emotion instilled in this can't help but be "felt" by the reader. I like the different approach you took, as well. Refreshingly original, and very well done. Thanks for entering this beauty, and good luck!

    Sensational!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Raven, The beauty which only your pen can produce a write so deep and emotional. You wrenched my heart beyond belief with this sad and yet beautiful masterpiece that you penned for all of us to gaze upon. Words spoken from a true sage. I send you love and light to perhaps give some relief to the pain felt. Your verbiage that is majestic creates a story that only a poet's heart can see. I wish you the best of everything in life and for this contest. Kudos on this brilliant write that sounds golden to me. Love and God bless, Joyce
