Nightmares

I slept days with nightmares

Gracing my pillows

Kissing my lips

I wonder if I hurt the world

With stings so painful

If a time I came

To quench waters so tasteful

If rebels await

My horse of horrors

If I were a king

The land hated with fear filled eyes

This time I awake

With no sweat on my head

With no chest to cry on

A smile on my face

For I know the next to take

Paths I always thread

With a will stronger than any

A curse none wish for

But one I see as a blessing

May be I was bold

As the wolves n their pack

May be I was dreaded

Like the lions in their steed

One thing I know

Then I was at peace

With the inner me

And none could please or hurt

Then I had a heart

Filled in a cooler with ice

Then I knew

That a pace I had kept

One non could catch up with

Its short I know

But I woke up just too soon

And long I would be awake

To sleep no more
