Abducted in my Dreams

Captured, restrained, in pain
malicious ancient beings
clouding my mind

fear and frustration overcome
fighting to stay conscious
hurt, suffering, endless, prodding

many I see and I am only one
fighting for freedom
screaming without a voice

pushing against the pressure
resisting the their minds
letting none enter mine

survival my only thought
I am not alone
yet others do not fight

strong is my mind
resilient is my soul
courageous is my heart
giving up is not a thought
surrender is not an option

my mind pushing at theirs
my body will not go under
my soul will not surrender
my heart will not give up

tired, weakening, in pain
frightened, suffering, yet alive

my efforts pay off
they let go of my mind
too much trouble
not enough results

I'm home again
this time remembering
shaken yet not defeated

sleep is my enemy
dreams equal pain
stay awake or risk it again

Gone On

Gone on from this world to a new place,
It isn't an end, but a new beginning.

Gone on to forever be surrounded by beauty,
constantly showered with Gods love.

Gone on to talk and walk with the Angels,
never fearing anything ever again.

Gone on to sing praises to God,
in Heaven's glorious choir.

Gone on yet not forgotten,
forever in the hearts of loved ones.

I wrote this poem for a good friend of mine.
One of his good friends just recently passed away.
I also delicate this poem to his dear Father whom he was
very close to.

I dedicate this poem to all who have "Gone On" in the past,
present, and future.
