Tides of moonlight over waves of midnight

 


Listen to the tides of moonlight

as waves of midnight

wash over shores of relaxed insight,

but beware,

sometimes the clouds 

start to crowd.

A noise that rocks 

the heavens on high.

A sound crashes

the rocks so loud.

The sound of hope 

gone to die.

 

The sound of nightmares,

that cracking, splintered, itchy noise,

it creaks through your bones, 

through the floorboards.

Scratches at windowpanes

with sharpened claws.

The piercing screams,

that come from nowhere.

The rattlesnake tail in the air.

The sound of despair.

 

Listen to the late-night silence

absorbed by the thudding

jar of hearts.

The sound of a lie.

A lullaby to lull you to die.

Listen to the creepy chants

repeated, over and over by phantasms

of the lonely lost lover.

The sounds of broken hearts

shattered into a million tiny parts.

 

Hear the maniacal laughter

of your own thoughts,

an orchestra of madness trying to cause fright.

Turn on the light. It screams. Turn on the light.

See the face that haunts your dreams.

Hear the pained echo of eternal screams.

Hear the pained echo of eternal screams.

Hear the pained echo of eternal screams,

then realise the screams are your own

and your eyes are crying streams.
