climb the creepy stairs by yourself little child wonder about the shadows imagination running wild father figure offers little comfort in the night do not fall asleep, my child nor let him out your sight mother's hugs sustain you in the day, when she's around until the weekend comes when she will spend nights on the town protect yourself against the witches hateful, gleaming eyes they lie in wait to get you with their favorite surprise- "brother" locks you in the dark where ghosts & goblins sway put your hands upon the board to watch what it will say "pen in hand upon the white wait for it to move & write feel the cold of someone there someone who just does not care" climb the creepy stairs to your bedroom little child it's time for you to take a nap by yourself a while when the dead returns to you one you've never seen explain to unbelievers what you saw and do not scream fill your empty spaces with your music and your art fight the demons of the past with passion in your heart remember as the memory of great grandmother's death- the way they held you down to inhale her final breath- that when the writings on the wall & all is said done you've learned what fear can truly be- for them, it's just begun... climb the creepy stairs, my child... ~Tier 5/02 "I shall never bond again, as I have bonded with you..." |

Gosh Tier.... This poem is haunting in the fact that there is so much truth within it... The fears of a child...retained and remembered always... Very well expressed... |

I can see why several may read but not be able to reply...for some, it may shiver to close to the bone... well done, Tier... |
