First Comes The Darkness
By Paul Wilson

Darkness covers my mind
as I lie here in silence wide awake
Where will this journey take me
tonight…my life may be at stake

Will I float amongst the clouds
with old friends that have gone away
Perhaps I’ll be a child of ten
playing those games boys play

Tonight Satan might lure me
into his den of if I am weak
When darkness overtakes me
I am alone and meek

I see the shroud of darkness
slipping thru crack of door
In the mirror of reflection
my eyes can’t stay open anymore

I fight with all my might
but sleep overtakes me
This journey of doubt
is filled with regret and glee

One motions to me with
open arms and a loving smile
Another seduces me with
promises like when I was a child

I fight the darkness and try to speak
but only mumble incoherently
Why I ask the keeper of dreams
is this happening to me

Be forewarned he says on this
journey you are about to take
You may see and feel some things
that may make your heart break

~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~

'Why I ask the keeper of dreams
is this happening to me'

There is a Cave of the Good Dreams
just beyond the eyelid 'rem'
It will take you to a land of plenty
where the 'keeper of dreams'
awaits with the pleasure of knowing
to you He will be showing
a kaleidoscopic smile of wile
as it plays
across your night
into your day~
