Dreamcatcher

What can be said
About the day's dread?
When the morning grows red
And the night has fled
The embers on the fire bed
Have since ceased their stead
The stars that the sky had spread
Now hide behind the red
Where only the brightest are embed
And give homage to the dead
The day now lies ahead
And the night slumbers in its stead
As words are now unsaid
Of nightmares widespread
That left tear and sweat shed
Perhaps the dreamcatcher can thread
A shield for such dreams mislead
So only pleasantries we be fed
Where adventure and beauty be wed
Let us ask the masters who have said
That the path taken could easily be tread
If only our patience and virtue be bled
So that our terrors of night are behead
This is the way our destinies are thread
Hung with subtle care above the bed
So that we never sleep in fear and dread
The dreamcatcher guards us overhead

Mine's on my door because

Mine's on my door because there's a picture above my bed :B That and my cat would eat the feathers that are attached to it.

I applaud your ability to rhyme that many times and still have it make complete sense!
Unlike so many rap songs that lose there meaning in favor for rhymes that don't make sense.

Haha yeah, fortunately I

Haha yeah, fortunately I don't write down my poems on napkins and coasters. I can't make up rhymes on the spot though so rappers get kudos for that, but I have heard their songs that don't make any sense XD
