Try as she may,
the dream reaper comes,
snatching her fantasies away.
To live she must die,
to die she must live,
in a limbo, neither heaven nor hell.
Eternally punished for immoral sins,
she must watch others have,
what she once coveted.
The dream reaper stalks,
pulling and ripping away at you,
testing to see if you will fall.

powerful! trapped in an endless cycle of the dream reaper. i've been having bad dreams myself lately, but the dream reaper didn't get one really good dream that i had. no, didn't "snatch" that one from me; and it was lovely. i notice if i keep praying and meditating every night, i am protected more from negative forces.
thank you for sharing this. it is very good, and aroused a lot of feeling and thoughts in me. -
ewwwwwwww...that was really erie!
Lovely dark write, a feast to the imagination too,
it really haunts you even after you are done reading the
poem!
well done! very well done! lovely, dark and eerie!

Erm, I like it because I've written things similar. I have one called Thought Goddess and also a short fairy tale along the same lines. Thanks for sharing.

Hm... I don't much like dark poetry... and I didn't find this to be very poetic... It did have a deeper meaning... which was pretty good...
But, I'm not sure if I enjoyed it or not...
Thanks for entering

Hmm.
This is very prophetic in so many ways. I think sometimes the Dream Reaper walks in my dreams. Your description gave me that image. Nice write. -
What an incredible write from start to finish and I too love the title! Keep up the amazing writing I so enjoyed reading this evening.

I love this poem!
This poem really speaks to me. I love the title (which pulled me in to begin with), the beginning, and of course the ending!! The middle really pulls you in, too. Amara, you have gotten so much better at expressing your emotions through poetry it is unbelievable!! Keep it up, girl!
