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...

No One Is Home
In these woods we dared to be
Though tales were told of tragedy
Of monsters hiding deep in woods
We shan't believe them no one should
Though we don't believe these tales
Could there be more beyond the trails?
Each tree we pass we trek deeper in woods
Down comes the rain and up go our hoods
With thunder and lightning our minds start to wander
Could there really be monsters way out yonder?
Now we're lost cant see our way back
We're frightened we may be under attack
Now running and leaping through trees and...
Though tales were told of tragedy
Of monsters hiding deep in woods
We shan't believe them no one should
Though we don't believe these tales
Could there be more beyond the trails?
Each tree we pass we trek deeper in woods
Down comes the rain and up go our hoods
With thunder and lightning our minds start to wander
Could there really be monsters way out yonder?
Now we're lost cant see our way back
We're frightened we may be under attack
Now running and leaping through trees and...

Tales From The Crypt
Dark greetings bold stranger I welcome you,
Now ready one's heart for what's on view.
Terrifying tales aplenty this Halloween Night,
Painted black and red with no end in sight.
Be warned they're not for any faint hearted,
For if unprepared you'll join many departed.
Tales of torment and fear with stories of woe,
Now lets kick off my Halloween horror show...
Jack The Ripper Returns
Beneath the streets of London,
There sleeps a nasty surprise.
Waiting patiently in the sewers,
For many their hidden demise.
...

Dream
Dream:
Last night, I had a dream.
It was a strange dream.
I was naked, save for a white sheet wrapped around my shoulders. I was in my hometown. It was night, and it was raining. The lights of the city were of a deep crimson color. I knew I did not belong there. I wanted to go home. I was trying to find my way to the city and state where I live currently in the streets of Spokane, Washington. Something was pursuing me. I do not know what. But I knew I was being followed.
At length, I was greeted by a stranger.

"KNOCK KNOCK...WHO'S THERE ???"
Furnace of blowing hot air, Uninvited winds of change delivered here. Something invisible but felted , Something foreign & rearranged, Something is different, Something is very strange. Friends no more, Foes too many. A cluster FUCK of confusion, muddled mind of madness, monsters thrive & survive in. Mounting anxiety, racing towards afraid, of now known knowledge, only wishing death to be staged. A threshold I've stepped over & the RED door I can never shut, close or lock again. I can't seem to rub the strangeness from my eyes, a horror flick craved in the back of my mine...

DENV
It was like any autumn afternoon.
High humidity, bright sun. Life bustling as usual.
I was on my way to work when I began to feel the first signs of discomfort. An isolated chill; pins on my bones. A gentle touch was enough to rattle the shield. I couldn’t have known what was to follow. In the middle of my day, the chill had transformed into a full-blown fever. Rising heat. Spiking pain. Every step, a test of strength. It wasn’t my first rodeo so I persisted. Little did I know, that my journey back home was going to introduce me to a new circle of hell.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice
Whilst my master sleeps his sleep of kings,
A moonless night cloaks spellbinding things.
Dawn will display death deceit and disaster,
For his apprentice shall become his master...
His locked Magic books were easy to unpick,
With beguiling night reads under candlestick.
Ungodly spells from times of ancient ages,
All stolen now from their well worn pages.
My dark deed done, the old fool lies slain,
An emerald fire spell to prolong his pain.
Rivals now my thorned wand will vanish,
Dismal death for many, others I'll banish. ...

Dismal death for many, others I'll banish. ...
