Can't sleep,so i lie awake in bed,
No rest for my sorely tortured head.
I focus on the wood panels,
to forget my thoughts....turn the channels.
Staring at the waves of wood grain,
but i still can't escape the pain.
Suddenly the wood work swirls,
takes on images as ghosts unfurl
in front of my dazed eyes
dance myriads of haunting lies.
Over there beside the bookshelf,
on the wall i see myself.
Lost in a tizzy of x’s & o’s,
Circled by watchful carrion crows.
They watch me with eyes bulging,
Waiting,the suspense indulging.
Watching & waiting for me to expire,
Circling and watching from higher & higher.
I hate them,they wait to devour me,
They’re aroung you too,my friend,can’t you see?

The stage unfold ‘cross my bedroom walls,
Now I can almost hear their ravenous calls.
I would rescue you,
But they’re imobile…..the feet my mind drew.

I don’t want to see, my eyes I try to close,
But my lids are thin,the blood still shows.
Then I realize my eyes are open wide,
Streaming down with tears I cried.
And I find I’m staring into my bedroom drapes,
Crimson…..which I mistook for bloody shapes.
Thank god it was just dreamed,
I’m not trapped in the wood work,as it seemed.

What would I do without you ,my best friend,
Thank god you’re alive……my Godsend

~Swamp*Faeryie,....oooh this is good,...damn good. I can never sleep and as soon as I read the first line here I knew this would be an interesting read. Gosh the things that go through your head in the night, when all seems quiet....I knew you would make this work. You're good. The imagery is great. *Peace.

as a piece of wood! Great job. Marcy

Your x's and o's say alot in love, a new??

anyway,
great imagery, I like crows, I use to do a craft show that in the morning there would be thousands all over.
Very large and black.

Love it kid.

I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.

Thank you Joel and Necro....

Joel would you happen to know what the differnce is between a crow and a raven??¿ It's been a recent topic for dispute in my house. We can't decide if it's size,or just 2 differnt names for the same thing??

This is fanominal! I love the use of the carrion birds. So powerfully dark and gloomy! Wonderful!
