When dreams decay

In velvet dusk, the dream begins,
A whisper soft, a silver gleam,
But shadows slip beneath the skin,
And fear unthreads the fragile dream.

A whisper soft, a silver gleam,
Becomes a scream no stars redeem,
And fear unthreads the fragile dream—
The heart forgets what light can mean.

Becomes a scream no stars redeem,
The moon distorts, the heavens lean,
The heart forgets what light can mean,
While hope dissolves in nightmare’s sheen.

The moon distorts, the heavens lean,
But dawn restores the fractured scene,
While hope dissolves in nightmare’s sheen—
In velvet dusk, the dream begins.

    Just want to tell the ALL writers out there that an hour or so ago something terrible happened: With one accidental tap on CTRL and A all of my 3 month’s writing i.e. 31thous. words, 30 chapters ALL wiped clean! I’m grieving. No geek was able to find it or resurrect it. ANY ideas??? Author: Dee Tezelli

Thank you for reading, liking, and commenting to my posts.  It is very appreciated.

I am currently raising money to pay for ongoing psychotherapy. I am a survivor of complex trauma, I have dissociative identity disorder, and complex PTSD.  Therapy can be very expensive.

If you feel like donating to my fund you can donate using pay pal. My pay pal email for donating is:

Don’t feel you have to, there is no pressure, but I’m grateful for any donations that are received.

Again thanks for visiting!
