Poem -
Nightmaria
In the dark domain of Nightmaria,
Nothing truly is as what it seems.
What many perceive as a fantasy,
Are held captive in their own dreams.
A nightmare cocooned in a dream,
A dream sheathed in a nightmare.
Both paradoxes of equal measure,
In Nightmaria identities are laid bare.
All think they can cut through,
Its dense forests of confusion.
Returning to earth's astral plane,
An escape that is pure illusion.
Once held in Nightmaria's clutches,
It deafly ignores every pitiful plea.
All lost souls never sleep again,
For only dreams can set them free.

Great write as always Shaun. Goodness, loved the second stanza so much, the line
'Both paradoxes of equal measure'
dreaming and being awake can be the same sometimes. We can be so unaware we are basically asleep. Really enjoyed this. I hope I can catch up with everyone, I've missed so much ☀
Shelley many thanks and I have a lot of reply catching up and to read many more of your poems too, you're not the only one who's missed so much!
24 hours in a day just doesn't poetically cut it, but, I have tomorrow and Saturday off work to really push the poetry boat out and start reading yours and other kind and generous members poetry too.
Stay safe and stay warm and I wish you well.
