Dancing in the darkness,
my mind wanders through a dream.
Delightful drink of wine
during a first date;
the dream changes directions.
Feeding bread to ducks
down by the pond
watching them dive down.
Rolling over discloses a new dream.
A dusky dark night reveals
a demon dislodged from
deep within my soul.
Dangerous and dark,
I desire to wake up
and fear this dream doesn’t end
Is this a demon I’m destined to become?

A thoroughly enjoyable twist!
Whoa!!! What a sudden change! But then, that’s exactly how dreams are! I think you have pictured and portrayed them perfectly, Teresa… and boy!!!! This one was certainly vivid.. AND SCARY towards the end!!!
Like the twist. And the first part is really peaceful. Thank you for sharing.
A peaceful dream becomes a nightmare. The delightful first half really turns demonic!!
Love the skip around effect of your dreams… and yes, isn’t it always the demons and dark ones that seem to end the pleasant solice found in dreamland.
Quite a twist in this, the last few lines are a surprise compared to the opening ones – well done!

You perfectly expressed the classic dilemma of the duo dream. We are happily chugging along loving our sub-conscious and then ‘BAM!’
What a great description of something we all seem to have experienced.
Such a wonderful poetic stop on our little journey through Alphabe-Thursday’s letter “D”.
Thank you for linking.

Well that’s a nightmare. I can’t remember most of my dreams. Thanks for stopping by blog and Thanks for your comments! ~Ames
two contrasts so perfectly drawn…why do such beautiful dreams turn into monsters?? Sigh…I loved it
A very interesting dream! Objects seem to regularly change in dreams. One second you are holding a spoon to eat with, and the next second the spoon has changed to a totally unrelated object! Good post!
Strange states these dreams we have. Lovely verse.
wow,
a good dream ends up with a demon,
shivers…
well expressed poem,
lovely call of one’s fears in life.
Wow, love the switch.
Very impressive word images..
Oh, I hate when dreams slip into nightmares! You captured that perfectly here! Great poem, Teresa! And that picture just adds a whole other element – gave me chills!
I wasn’t prepared for the shift. This piece really tells about both sides of dreams.
hmmm … i’m kinda speechless … i loved the first part … it took me away from real life … the second part brought me back to real life … i think most of us think have our own demons to deal with … well i guess i am not speechless … and now i gotta say i really enjoyed this poem … well done!
Isn’t this the way of dreams. Start one way and totally take a U turn.
Very descriptive poem!
I could hear the clinking of glasses & nervous laughter, to the quacks & splashing of ducks, to the sinister demonic cackles & lapping flames!!
Great D
I love how the two parts of the dreams are so different. It emphasizes each part nicely. Well done and thanks for sharing!
