SHE DREAMT OF HIM .
She dreamt of him,
Her nightmare, her knight,
Hard to separate,
Cursed he was,
Lust and thirst in his veins .
Yet, cursed she was,
She dreamt of him,
Good days, he shower her with flowers,
Hold her like porcelain,
Bad days, would crash her,
Inflict wounds on her soul .
Broken and twisted,
Driven insane with his needs,
Forsaking her loyalty,
Still helpless like a child,
Addicted to legacy of his blood,
Begging for her grace .
Each time she would pick up,
Those shattered pieces in vain,
Hoping it was for last,
Still it vanished at dawn,
Forgotten like an insignificant dream,
Was she to blame,
Cause she dreamt of him?
What wonderful poetry of longing and I guess violence. I think he might be bad for her though...
ReplyDeleteHe is not , but she desperately hopes he will mend his ways .
DeleteThanks for reading Bjorn :)
I love these lines: "Addicted to legacy of his blood, Begging for her grace." Those two lines punctuate the conflict that runs throughout the piece. It's like she knows he's bad for her but can't help herself.
ReplyDeleteShe wants to save him ,some people just get stuck in dilemma .
DeleteThanks Janna :)
"Her nightmare, her knight..."
ReplyDeleteIf only she wasn't so addicted to him!

ReplyDeleteI agree , thanks for reading Draug :)
DeleteI can only hope her nightmares don't become permanent.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up!
A nice look at a destructive relationship and the inability to let go of it.
ReplyDeleteI'd advise some practice with editing and such to polish this and in general because basically it's good, could just do with some "cleaning." :D
Keep it up, I say as a non-poetry person that I enjoyed and appreciated this one.
Cheers!
