A Cacophony of Bad Dreams

a chill, 

an ice cold serpent slithers  

on my back 

and I lie still, 

playing dead 


these are the nights 

running up and down chasing sleep 

and when its within my grasp 

a night crawls underneath my blankets 

and devours it all 


sleep becomes intermittent 

coming in between long spells 

of bitter wakefulness 

thinking the same old thoughts 

and when sleep is finallly roused in its slumber 

the dreaded nightmares crawl for their feast
