Dark Dreams



What do you dream deep in the night
when all are asleep and the moon shines
bright?
Do you dream of fairy's and elves
or monsters and demons with long pointy
tails where do you go when they take you
away perhaps to a haunted house or a beach
by the bay?

Do you dream about a castle upon a hill
where a strange man lives off of blood that's
been spilled? Do you travel through a forest
within your dreams to hear howling at the moon
before a blood curdling scream?

Can you escape when your dreams turn from light
into horrible madness and heart pounding fright
you turn around your in a different place, still
fast asleep your eyelids flutter at a maddening
pace.

The doctor is focused awaiting lightning to strike
giving life to his unholy creation this night.What
do you dream deep in the night when all are asleep
and the moon shines bright?

A young girl waits to invite you in her long slithery
split tongue touching her chin.You climb the stairs
to face a horror unknown, the devil dwells here to make
her his own.

Morning comes it was all just a dream or rather a nightmare
all to real it seemed.What do you dream deep in the night
when all are asleep and the moon shines bright?
