In The Dark Lands Of Nightmaria... Poem by Shaun Cronick

In The Dark Lands Of Nightmaria...

Rating: 5.0


In the dark lands 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 both 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.

I don't fancy a trip to Nightmaria Shaun. It sounds a lot like West View in Hartlepool...truly nightmarish...filled with drug addled zombies etc. What a wonderfully imaginative poem, It's definitely a fearful five from me!
