Have you heard 'Screams'????? 1 of 2 parts?

In Screams Aloud…

In screams aloud
I have awaken unproud
Lost in the dark
An unknown fear dwelling in my heart
Not at all clear this thing which I fear
Something not at all dear

Tis’ nothing there at all
Nothing large nor nothing small
It is alone that I am and alone I shall be
No unseen horror from which I must flee
Nothing save my own foolishness robs me of my rest
Nothing, but some unseen, unreal pest

My eyes grow weary of this dim night’s light
And no longer do I wish to fight
Or evade sweet sleep’s delight
I pray with eyes closed tight
No longer could I linger
Only to hear the faint distant voice of a singer

“Thru your empty life and times of strife
I have awaited you
Thru the sleepless nights and days of flight
I have awaited you”

A sight to strike me dumb, this vision appears
In mist it comes and turns to be
A maiden is she, saying unto me
“This night you will be free!”
What’s that you say?
What is it that comes this day?

Thank you, My Lady. I fear it is a bit unfinished or rough...

p.s. Pleased to see you using the portrait again!!!

Very powerful, as is your second one. Instantly (perhaps incorrectly) I recall all my friends who served with the armed forces...and the memories which haunted them in their dreams.
Think it needs a bit of tweaking, but I am not versed enough to suggest those edits. Others are, and I've given you a star and hope they will reply.

Wow! Awesome poem. It seriously makes you think about it for a long time...it's so well written, did you write it???

To you or whoever did, WELL DONE!
It's so hard to write that long of a poem.
