Nightmaria
In the dark domain of Nightmaria,
Nothing truly is as what it seems.
What many perceive as a fantasy,
Are held captive in their own dreams.
A nightmare cocooned in a dream,
A dream sheathed in a nightmare.
Both paradoxes of equal measure,
In Nightmaria identities are laid bare.
All think they can cut through,
Its dense forests of confusion.
Returning to earth's astral plane,
An escape that is pure illusion.
Once held in Nightmaria's clutches,
It deafly ignores every pitiful plea.
All lost souls never sleep again,
For only dreams can set them free.
Dedicated to KristinaX.
Happy Halloween!

There is an incredible darkness to this Shaun.
That picture captures the atmosphere perfectly.
The title is so beautiful... Nightmaria...
I found this one very meaningful.
It embodies this darkness trapped within forever.
Those things that created a domain that can never be escaped.
There are dark fantasies that sometimes when acted on can be very dark indeed.
They can encapsulate nightmares in dreams.
Perhaps they can fulfill dreams amidst the screams.
And in this world nothing is at it seems.
The light does not reveal it, that darkness only conceals it.
You become captive to it for life.
The fires of Hell igniting sinful passions forever.
A dream can be a sword dipped in blood placed into an innocent sheath.
It cuts and it breaks... Identity laid bare.
After those cuts continue for a very long time. Forever really.
And it seems so many want to cut her again too.
The dense forests of confusion, a troubled mind...
Lost in the dark there forever.
There is no escape, illusions of reality exist in the light.
She has embraced her fate that was written not trying to escape.
Ignores her own pitiful pleas, and the others as well...
Everyone is lost. For some reason the darkness always attracts.
So many lost in the chaos and confusion of her intense feelings and emotions.
Finding themselves so attracted to the extreme passion that could only come from the dark.
Those souls never wanting to leave... Truly lost forever in her dense forest of dreams.
Now only dreams can set them free, if they ever see the nightmares residing there.
I appreciate the dedication very much and like I said very meaningful.
It is magnificent in it's expression of many things.

Thanking you kindly there Kristina and truth be told the title came first and ran with it.
And that picture really comes alive if you view the original sized version, much larger and gives the title something of equal measure, lucky to find it.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks again for your gracious words and how eloquently you have perceived through your eyes this offering.
Superb synopsis and I tip my poetry hat to you and your writing.
