    Nightmare

     

    A best friend once I had

    Yet was long ago

    Transformed into someone

    I no longer know

    A brother once I had

    How well I knew his face

    Seems to me another soul

    Now occupies his space

    A lover once I had

    Twas the center of my life

    His heart he pledged to me

    Chose another for his wife

    A partner once I had

    I trusted with my ware

    Took all of my material wealth

    Then left without a care

    A pure world once I had

    Its beauty to behold

    Now badly scarred and littered

    Its surface bare and cold

    A nightmare once I had

    But with the light of day

    All these things imagined

    Had somehow gone away.

    Thanks so much....sometimes things seem so horrible at night and you dream about them...then the next morning it all seems to disappear!

    I love the wording in this piece. The flow of emotion and rhythm is wonderful. The sense of loss at the end is palpable. Great job...........E

    Thanks so much!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
