(I know I've been posting quite a few recently, but I did comment on a few before I did this.)

My late night dreams are no longer
pleasant hopes and desires brimming
with love and honest kindness.
Instead they have been conquered by
the abberations and demons
from the land of nightmares.

My only saviour
holding the key to this
terrifying experience
is bathed in celestial light
and floating nonchalantly above
the hideous battle going on below

is you.
Let go of my heart
your grip is choking it
release my soul
that your still standing on
and let me go...

again, firestarter, you're a great poet! I love the way, at the end of the second stanza, you stop and then finish the sentence at the beginning of the third...don't know why, it's just cool that way. :D I don't care how many poems you post, 'cause I'll read them all and think they're great...

I really love your poetry! This was shorter, so it kept my interest and I raelly liked it... Srry, no criticism..

You shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
And these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
If you only try turning around."

Loved it. The rhythm was steady and it all flowed well. Though in the second stanza I think punctuation of some sorts might do nicely, it's a bit of a mouthful.

the hideous battle going on below

is you.


I think "is you" should probably be at the bottom of the previous stanza. Also, the one thing this poem lacked were commas and semi colons. It is so hard to read poems like this that don't have them. I mean, seriously. However, I agree with nickel pickle. It was short and did keep your interest. Just add some commas...
when there's nowhere to go, it's time to grow up.
