Wings of the raven folds over
Shadows enclosed time,
Beast silently drifts through mind
Restless sleep--endless deep
Ah, the quest for sweet meat;
Dream's silent stalk, corridors of the city
Under dark moon's illuminated void
Drift ancient long night shades;
This hunger burns unleashed
Knows no barriers in restless slumber,
Longs for the taste of forbidden feast;
Clenched teeth denied, sudden sigh
Tangled sheets…twitching feet.
Anguished despair gives into the crave
Overwhelming salty waves,
Not denied in dreams' illusion;
Safe haven of wonderful sleep
Unchained reality
Freedom to stalk the meat.

Cawing crow shattered night,
Morning's glaring red light--
Copper tasting fantasy dissipates
On wings of fleet scattered dreams;
Aching feet stumble to porcelain sink,
Shaking hand reaches out,
Touches reflecting pain
Inspects crimson flecked teeth;
Ah, sweet dream's feast!

Wow, very scary, I don't think I want to dream tonight.
Be well
