Fiendish fierce creatures
with fantastically fearful features.
Mystic beasts with demonic eyes,
misshapen mythical beings that paralyse.
Deformed monstrosities materialise
to cause pulsating palpitations,
to take your dreams
and cause you to live in trepidation.
Proceed with caution,
as they so often succeed...
I haven't slept properly in weeks,
it only comes in drips and drabs.
Sleep has eluded me,
every time these eyes are closed
a needle of fear stabs
and I wake from my doze.
The last time I took a dream world trip,
dreamland was not the place
I remembered, the facade had slipped.
Hopes and life paraded with a gleeful smile
but the smile bore teeth like pointed knives.
Twisted, distorted visions that haunt,
even when the visions were nice, it taunts.
but just out of the corner of my eyes
I could spy a creeping shadow
of the menacing kind.
A peaceful dream,
reconstructed in the blink of an eye,
the walls bleed and every voice lies.
Every noise is a threat,
you know that you are their target.
Every warped corner and every distorted street,
each woodland hideaway,
now a creepy cabin where danger lay.
Echoes betray their stomping feet
like a deranged heart and its wicked beat.
And in these dreams, they always give chase
to bring an end to rests peaceful embrace.
They always catch you in the end,
always leap out when least expected,
to make you feel undone again.
They got me.
I was locked away deep
in their monstrous palace of anxiety
and now I am stuck within these walls
never able to flee.
Nightmares are not a separate world
In dreamland they are mixed
like an ice cream with a raspberry swirl.
The visions shift so quick.
Morphing between light and dark,
at the speed of a finger click.
So don't enter unprepared.
Be ready to be scared,
be aware
that even in the best dream,
they could ensnare
and drag you to their lair.
Thanks for reading
