A Terrible Dream Poem by Sasivellat Menon

A Terrible Dream



In the silence of the night
Cool breeze blowing,
Sensuous aroma filled the air
I heard mild footsteps afar
And sound of anklets coming closer and closer
A shadow was moving near my window
I could make out some shape, moving in slow motion
Snow White costumes and untied long hair
Were flowing in tune with the breeze
Moonlight falling into my room
Through the window pane, making the picture clear
A vampire is there, very close to me
I saw and felt my inevitable end
A cold shiver shooting through my spine
Don't know what to do
Was sweating from top to bottom,
Could not move a bit
Try to scream but nothing coming out
Suddenly an unknown power,
Woke me up, whispering in my ears
Comforting me and saying
It was nothing but only a terrible dream!
