Darkness Dreaming 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. |

ah...I consider this one a classic---I remember it well, because I saved it then, and have read it many many times. Thank you very much for the re-play. Obviously a favorite of mine. |

Good grief!! Talk about giving a person the shivers.  Very well described here! (looking over my shoulder)DkW No person is worth your tears, and the only one that is ...... will never make you cry |
