Now the slumber comes in restless waves
Black and sleek her hand.
Pillaging the virginal straits embedded within
A helpless mind adrift.

The monsters stir the sandman’s wares
Dusty clouds hang high.
Fitful wails pierce the hallways of nightmares
Where no thought survives the hour.

A tear in the curtain of satin horror
Leaves no room to flinch.
Murky legs scamper to nowhere.

Now. . .
.
Leaden eyes blinded in a flash of nothing.
Dead calm.



D e a d.

calm.

a very good peom who shall walk herself into the Dark site.

Must watched a war movie before sleep only to get a dream like this to post a good poem.

worth it

I have never had the experience that seeing a poem made my hair standing up. reading it? too horror to speak out.

vivid chill.
