Dark
Rusting joints against cooling pipes
creaking boards to squeaking doors
A cats screech
chasing away the furry foe
after the ninja stand off,
A dog barks,
deep bark,
singular in warning or welcome
woof! and no more.
This had me making smiles
as I lay on my side
the duvet pulled up to my nose
my horrid fears,
imaginations,
and this lonesome bed sucked.
He'd be home soon,
thankfully..
as I turned over..to be faced by all my irrational
fears for real..
standing,
waiting,
grinning
all wanting to play horrid games....

I've got plenty of irrational fears myself and, yes, they tend to drop by when I'm trying to get some shut eye. The first line of the last stanza, "as I turned over..to be faced by all my irrational / fears for real.." makes me wonder if they're flesh and blood rather than the stuff of nightmares. Maybe it's some of both. It kind of reminds me of Metallica's "Sandman." "In your closet in your head..." Excellent job, Rose.

As a child yes
i remember all the sounds squeaks and bumps of the night
as the house wound down
now as an adult i have a more better understanding of what's really going on
even more frightening the thought too..
