Pesadilla

Pottery by Poet Rummager

I pull you close.

You tell me no –

Not tonight.

Just one little kiss.

I smell your sweat.

It whets my appetite.

You scare me,

You whisper

As I make you mine.

I inhale your scream.

Tentacles unwind.

I pierce your thoughts

Like a scalpel to your brain.

I slice off sweet dreams

And toss them away.

Say my name!

I insist.

You cover your eyes.

Say my name!

I seethe.

You refuse.

I grit my teeth.

I bite.

Pesadilla!

You shriek.

You wake in the night.

Pesadilla!

You shout.

I’m aroused

By your fright.

Pesadilla!

You screech.

I laugh with unfettered delight.

Don’t ever forget my name.

I sigh as you give up the fight.

 

*Pesadilla means nightmare in Spanish.

😈 Two more days until Halloween… 🦇 Oh, happy day! 🖤

  2. Well, I have posted an article and some videos and a meme. I post another article tomorrow and technically I am not back and after tomorrow we will see. I am not feeling the words and I have come to crossroads. Don’t know what to do with my site. I know I don’t want it to be just poetry which I am not feeling as well. So I don’t know. That is the best I can tell you.

  10. Very cool concept, to write a poem from the nightmare’s point of view. The poor, misunderstood nightmare, who is only trying to show us who we really are…
    I like your pottery, poet. I gave it a go myself in my school days. I tried to make a clay pipe—for smoking perfectly legal tobacco, of course! It exploded in my art teacher’s kiln. What a nightmare.
    Happy Halloween. 🙂

    • Oggy! You always read my poems with such precision. Me thinks we were meant to be! 🍿🎬 … like popcorn and a movie. 😄 I’m yet an amateur potter, but it’s lots of fun. Haha!! Your pipe popped? I’m sorry, but I bet you were a cute and naughty elementary lad. 😘

  21. A coffee nightmare would have me waking up on the wrong side of the bed-the bottom. LOL! You are so creative! Love the coffee mug! With the right blend of coffee that crawling froth may simmer… Looking forward to a cozy season. Best Wishes to you my Poet friend, for the same!😊☕❤❤❤❤

  26. Such a name for a lady that sits pressing my chest and give delightful shivers to my cold night. I hope everything is fine dear Rose, I have not been able to use my laptop much and so I am taking advantage to take a look to your beautiful words. Wishing you nice holidays ^_^
