Eerie apparitions
chill me to the bone
Nightmare’s
unappetizing fear
fills my marrow
Stifled
by a force
and sweat upon my brow
I try lift my lids
to find a ghostly form
wisp through me
again…and again
…wake up!
Charmed
by fascination of unknown
the scientist lurks inside vivacity of dreams
Two taunting forms stand
one of light
…it omits love…to save me
the other of night…so vacant - - black
His cruelties aware me
to make known
I am not welcome in this dream
My breath he steals away…confines me
as coolness of his dark handed heart
rushes through me
again…and again
I must run
Yet…the body fails provide motion
Scream!
to self-awaken
from this foul, unearthly dream
Run
from apparitions, lingering to haunt me
again…and again
Awaken!
