A Darkest Sleep

Darkest Sleep


To sleep, to darkness,
We nightly go,
And dreams, nightmarish,
Our night may know.

A door, ajar,
We watch in fear,
So close, so far,
Out of sight or near,

In days it sleeps,
Unseen by all,
Our screams it keeps,
Our nightmares enthral.

The closet, a darkness,
An unknown we know,
Breeds dreams, nightmarish,
As, to sleep, we go.

A door, ajar,
We sleep so near,
Through it, it comes,
To feast on our fear.

Nightmares it drinks,
Most ancient of beasts,
Its teeth it sinks,
A most terrible of feasts.

To evil, to darkness,
We nightly go,
And dreams, nightmarish,
Our night will know.
