Freddy Krueger
(Inspired by the movie Dream Scenario)
Lost in derivative experiences comprised
A pseudo collective consciousness in a world behind our eyes
Picking up on hacked signals that swell beneath in stillness as we breathe
We dream in silence louder than a whisper as our hearts unsheathe
Imagination informants whistle blowing
Monsters in the closets of an un-event
Where is all of this going?
Torn between a life of struggle or suffering the pedestal spent
Side effects of a common threat of our own humanity

Something Whooshed...!
Something Whooshed…!
On a planet, in a country, in a state, in a town,
on a street where a lampost shines
and the houses, very warm, quiet dreamers in their sleep
like a hush after church bell chimes.
Something whooshed on the wind in the distance.
Something galloped in the lime moonlight
and its wings cut the air into slices of Fear
which it tossed in the night with delight.
And I shivered with a tremble and began to disassemble
with the fright now fused to my bones.
Slices landed on the rooftops, slid across...

night sadness
Night is the blotting paper for many sorrows.”
—African Proverb
when day tasks are done
and the world is gone
and the sun bows down his head
and the doors are closed
and tight locks imposed
and the atmosphere is dead
my spirit swells within my breast
confined against my will
because the night brings more unrest
than can my fervent quill
transcribe....

Night Terror
I want to go to sleep now
But my mind wants to play games
It’s really dark, the dogs they bark
No night ever the same
I feel things as they crawl on me
My scalp begins to itch
My clothes no longer comfortable
Up on the bed I sit
I look out into darkness
Hold the covers to my eyes
I feel a finger touch my back
Jump up, let out a cry
The lamp it comes to life
I look around to a bare room
The room is dim and heavy
Almost like a darkness looms
There’s no one here, he’s out of town

Running with the Queen of Hearts
- Running with the Queen of Hearts -
Today, we shall indulge our twisted appetites with a work of dream! How much is dream, is up to the interpretation of saner minds than mine, however. In any case, there is no point in being commonplace, so we shall open this tale with but a single word. That word being evocative of all that is to follow, all that is to come. Auspicious! That is the word we will start with. It was auspicious to see the dark and a bit all too muggy chamber before me. Honestly, I always thought basements and cellars were supposed to be cool but this was...

Sticky Is The Web...Said The Spider To The Fly...The Stalker is I !!!
I've been waiting lifetimes my beautiful pet. My God given rights of ownership as the maker of perfect things...I Birthed you for my forever soulmate, forever to keep. I've make many horrid mistakes in the past. Got frustrated, then irritation racked over me. My dark side of mad wash & soaked me. candidates recited time...Time I can never have again. These unworthy harlots laughing at me as they spilled their thick, wicked, cunning book of lies. Insipid, rained like boredom in my head. I know no pleads of falsehoods in the most self-indulgent of ways. Their self-pity acts of cry...flip of...

i saw you in my dream
i saw you in a dream one night
i asked you if it was really you
you said you were also asleep
and when you woke you would forget
that we had seen each other
i sat beside you in the meadow
looking into your face as you
stared off into the horizon
as the clouds passed by; the sun was setting
contemplative, yet vacant; despondent
taking me back to when you would hold me
your grasp and your body were so warm
your eyes looking into me so coldly
empty smile not quite reaching your eyes
no tension in apprehensions or...

PAVOR NOCTURNUS
Aug, 1st, 2019
9:35 P.M., bed time. My therapist suggested writing a dream journal. To help find some, solace inside myself. So here I am, writing down my dreams. Trying to understand, to make sense of it all. I think it’s a joke, but what do I have to lose by trying? Most people can remember most of their lives , family, friends, relationships. But for me, I can’t remember anything beyond ten years ago, when the dreams started. Odd right? I’ve spent ten years is darkness. What happened? Why can’t I remember? I mean, I know my parents, I have friends and a good woman. They all...
