Met The Devil In The Night (dark write as requested)
standing in a small apartment
myself, a woman and a child
in the hallway is havoc
an evil demon banging on the door
tormenting the silence of the night
trick is keeping him on the outside
scratching the door with razor claws
shrieking evil howls echo thru walls
screams from those who let him in
blood dripping thru cracks of ceilings
6:00 was supposed to have been
the hour of which all would be safe
silence suddenly gave way to peace
as the clock chimed magically 6 times
minutes seemed to be hours passing by
slowly opened the creeking door
took a slow step across the threshold
felt his hot breath across my neck
as his claws sank in my flesh down my back
effortlessly he thru me against a wall
dragged by my hair into the apartment
remember screaming...."get out"
while bouncing off another wall
then a breaking window he tossed me thru
felt cuts and my back snap as I hit the ground
quickly he sprang upon my torn corpse
plucking my eyeballs with his sword like fangs
could hear him crunching on my beautiful green
revolting pain I could feel in my chest
warm blood dripping as he ripped out my heart
all went silent for just a few seconds
felt claws tearing my face and flesh
picked me up and I went sailing in the air
more bones broke as I cracked the ground
then he stomped all over me breaking what was left
again minutes seemed like hours passing
couldn't hear or feel his hot evil sigh
heard many voices around me crying
bleeding and barely a live I laid there dying
off in a distance I heard his evil laughter of victory
(This was a real dream I had. Call them night terrors.
It's when diabetics sugar drops too low. They hallucinate,
and become delirious to all that is around them. I always
dream in full color and sound. It's like watching a video.
It was terrifying!!)

That was damn creepy! I hate when terrible things happen in dreams. I often wake up still feeling the pain and so terrified I am paralyzed. You have expressed the fear quite vividly, though I kinda wish you hadn't... I'm gonna be awake all night now. Thankfully your blood and heart were not purple in the dream!!!

Not too much, but it reminded me of seeing "The Exorcist" back in the 70's. I too had to watch a comedy afterwards to take my mind off of it.

This was a brave write for someone so angelic in spirit as you.But we all carry within us a universal unconscious mind that has stored memories and fears from our earliest times of human existence. Have you read Jung?

Awe candycrier......you're words are so sweet......since then I have sugar before I go to bed.....LOL!!!! No I haven't.....I take it it's a horror thing? Thank you for stopping by....xo :)

No "horror thing" when I mentioned Jung. I was referring to the eminent psychiatrist and scientist Carl Jung who researched the deeper levels of our unconscious mind and called it the archetypal unconscious.

OMG! Flower; that was really disturbing and creepy; then to find out that this is a real dream you had. Wow! That's just nasty for you. Gee, I thought I slept badly. My heart goes out to you, for what it's worth. I am only "Liking" the poem because it is well written. Please understand that I don't like what experience it relates. Take care. Philip

Woah, are you kidding me? A dream? Like JJ said I wake up with such pains when ever I have such surreal dreams. The sleepy eyes suddenly go glow like a pussy cat's. Well, one thing I do; I pray and that peaceful sleep resumes till another terrific inevitably night of horror.
TenqQue for granting my wish, I just wanted to see your black color of ink and it really casted a dark shadow on me.
BrrrrrHhhhhh

This might be kind of traumatic given your night terrors, but I'd like to see more of your dark side Flower. You write this with such macabre flair! A real departure, and a fine one.
