This spoke to me and brings that occasional visitor that will be called ‘night terror.’ So it isn’t insomnia, really… love it being called “bed dread.” 🙏🏻🕊

A comedy film says to a person who was presumed missing for some time, \'How did you find out you were not dead?\' The reply was, \'Well, I saw my picture in the newspaper\'. lol. The question is daft to start with, then comes the humorous reply.

You have woven a wonderful story around a beautiful painting Tristan. You have an amazing talent. So much variety in your work. This form works so well here and your poem reads beautifully recited out loud. Fab poetry with great imagery, much enjoyed my friend.

Don\'t be like that, Tristan. Just say Stuffit more often - or \'Why should I care? why should I let it touch me?\' Archie Roach,(Lawrence Oliver) I think, in The Entertainer.
I read it three times because I was fascinated by the rhyme.... I know your message, but I\'ve reached the point where I\'m past caring...
Also endorse Soren\'s response here.

This goes so many ways,certain people to certain things and feeling\'s are dead, the dreading of the end of the day and going to bed, because then the mind and demons come alive, enjoyed the read

I love the rhyme aspect, and also your personal story that really shines through here! I personally get in bed to avoid existential dread--sleeping all my problems away--but I also understand the idea of reluctance, and not wanting to face the end of the day.

So true peace only comes when one is dead but remember there are many walking that are dead. Dead to what goes on around them, dead to new ideas, dead to what is going on inside them, dead to morals and compassion. A fun but at the same time most mind provoking poem that hopefully awaken some that are sleeping and arouses from the dead some departed. Very nicely written my friend.

That inner Lucifer, working his socks off to tempt us! A hard taskmaster. Thank heavens there is forgiveness and redemption in this universe, otherwise I\'d be toast already!
As others have said, written like a song. Great work, Tristan.

You leave me sitting on the fence, frankly, in love with the romantic image whose youthful lovers illustrate all our hearts cherished on that score, your own lines so exquisite I want to hug myself in the delicious indulgence, torn as the tale twists into such a horror of devilry I\'m washing my hands of the joy turned sour. Fascinating. Beautifully rendered with marvelously gorgeous imagery and a damning poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

This unique style worked so well for this poem that I could not help but give it a fave. It slowly reveals the story in almost song like form and like pulling up a shade from a window slowly reveals what lies beyond. Very nice Tristan

Dang it! Leave me trapped in your hellish nightmare, will you?! My la! As if my hours sleeping or waking weren\'t labeled as nightmares anyway, now you leave me clutching my collar as if the poison will yet slip through and eat my skin off me while I stand. Gorgeously rendered with consonance and alliteration and all those fun effects of the trade until I don\'t know where to begin, chockful of imagery to die for, the poignancy is what eats me alive. Thank you for sharing.

It would seem that every community would have at least one such house! And growing up we had our share of scares and dares revolving around such places. The effect on me at this time/reading is like a time travel poetry 🙏🏻🕊

I am not a believer in any faith buti can understand this write and the confusion that after having faith you are no better off in any way, my main question has always been, how can a god take all the praise for all the good but not accept responsibility at all for any of the bad, very interesting and thought provoking write

A fine write T. \'LORD\' in capitals is, I believe, because Jews considered God\'s names of \'Jehovah\' or \'Yahweh\' or \'Yhwh\' too holy to even say.
The verses you mention occur in Job in the Old Testament, but thankfully we don\'t all experience severe trials as Job did. It also can crop up at Funeral Services.

Call This What You Will, I Call It Misogyny
Cheeky Missy said:
Alas, what a depiction of manhood! Coming myself from a close-knit family unit with both loving father and no less than six brothers, this slap in the face of such would leave me reeling, except I dabbled in the latter, individuals who thought it worthwhile to measure worth by the size of a certain member and wild tales of the opposite sex. Rendered exceptionally with superb imagery and an intriguing, yet hard-hitting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

So right to call this out but unlikely those who are guilty will read it, this is a huge area from social media that is telling and grooming young boys and men this is how we should talk to and treat woman and girls, they are growing up thinking this is normal I would also add parent\'s should be doing more themselves, by setting positive examples, correction when heard or seen and spending time with their kids,so they are not on the net all the time, sad but important write

Must respond. Well said. That dickheadery remains pervasive, I understand on social media and certainly in other quarters too.
Really glad I don’t have daughters.
PS: Sorry, but the “we\" doesn’t help, however what to do beyond speaking up when I am able and feel it appropriate. This needs a wider and deep discussion.
In the meantime: Right on, Tristan.
