Nightmare

 

That stormy night

a horrible nightmare

My subconscious emerged

everything seemed to come alive.

I was locked, naked

in an immense crystal ball

which kept rolling

across a desert of red sand

dried blood and dust

forming dunes,trails and hollows.

I woke up horrified

try to scream and could not

a lump in my throat

my saliva was dry

in a waterless desert

lifeless, with nothing.

I turned to fall asleep

but I was afraid and thought

I will dream about the same.
