I am the man of your dreaming: Dank spectre holding your smile. A mythical Casanova... The object of your denial. I’ll graze your echoes of laughter- Glide through night-crystal fears. I’ll crush your intimate rainbows Shelling out heart aching tears. I’ll challenge your mind for meaning, Feed from your soul bleeding pain. The infamous childe of Bedlam, Come to the fore once again. So whisper your breath’s lullabye, Call me, you wretched disgrace. I’m a blood hound fond’ling secrets From imaginations chaste. Scream out my name in the Darkness- Beg for my feathery arms. The caress of evil appeal Invoked by maidenly charm. My touch spans waters of distance, Drowning your hopes in my light. March through your marshes of terror Searching my sadist’s delight. I’ll bring you a rose thorny free To taste of it’s velveteen skin. Then banish it to forever, Virtue turned into a sin. In hunting you’re my only prey; A rabbit panicked in sleep. I chase as you’re crying away, Then laugh as I feed...you weep. I am the man of your dreaming: There’s no escaping my gaze. Just lay in quivering terror... For I am your end of days.

Glad I am not one of your prey...lol Very vivid portrait of a user to me. Jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |

This is chilling, Christopher. Very well written! Denise p.s. edit out your little note at the top so it doesn't get printed with the poem! [This message has been edited by dsnyder (edited 07-09-2000).] |

Almost as spooky as your face, Chris! J/k! Seriously, this is great, and I'd love to have this bit of darkness in the book! "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde "The robbed that smiles steals something from the thief" -Shakespea |

Hey Chris, I remember when you first posted this.... The last stanza gave me goose bumps then, and it did this time 'round too! One of your best m'friend! Oh, and Geoffrey, he isn't THAT scary! He's as sweet as they come! ROFLMAO < !signature--> ~Sheri [This message has been edited by Irie (edited 07-10-2000).] |
