Analysis of 'Nightmarish'
On a cold winter night,
Snow-storm crumpled the night life,
HE slumped into the couch.
Cold, hungry and tired,
the end was near, he feared,
Trapped in the dungeon of doubt.
Frantic, his heart pulsating,
His eyes filled with fear,
Drifted into hostility and aggression.
He punched the wall, broken knuckles,
Crouched down, fists to his bosoms,
seeking a comfort yet absent.
He realized, he was about to engage,
in a duel with an unseen enemy,
Unseen yet the demon he fights rages on.
A look in the mirror beholds the anguish,
with a monstrous look on his face,
'Mayday' he yelled as he woke up from his nightmare.
