Behind the door of darkened room
where dreams come on winged flight.
Beyond the silent coffined tomb
but not from whispers of the night.

Beyond the moon beam crawling there
upon the floor of marbled stone.
To bring from death a waking scare
this thought of fear, of now alone.

This mare of night does crawl my soul
and bring to sweat the clammy skin.
This fright of fear entombed in roll
where eyes will glow from darkness in.

This coldness of the stone one feels
upon the walk to waiting light
shall bring the chill as one mind reels
and scurries from impending fright.

Per chance the scene were not displayed
within the cells of one’s sleeping mind.
The ghouls would lose this game we played
as waking stirs.....from this resigned.

Yet, in the mind these demons sleep
in wait of but a time to play.
They crawl from view in horrid creep.
They wait, they don’t scurry away.

Upon a midnight,midnight dreary
as he pondered, pondered, weary....

Quoth the poet......"Nevermore"
