dusk leaves to make room for
night seeping through the door
dreams come they're not a bore
unmasked, for the hardcore
phantoms seek, spreading gore
inside you as you snore
another dirty chore
peeks into your back door
your soul it will explore
secrets laid bare, galore
spill them onto the floor
touching your every core
each night; the same old war

Eh, same to ya, Lori. Up. Dreamed all night it seemed, bordering on nightmarish. Okay, it is getting close to Halloween.

And tomorrow there'll be more!

The style itself I'm sure was a challenge but the message makes it home.  Of course, I'm probably reading more into it than one should.  Even so, I found it enjoyable.

I don't think you are reading more into it that you should, Michael.

Thank you for your input and for being here.
