You're lying awake

the room is different the walls dissolve

replaced by sky

horizon blackening twilight

beckoning

as the clouds are stretching wide

little holes

that light is clawing to get through

but hope is shifting

with the shadows

that are drifting on the ceiling as you move



Are you awake???

sour thoughts are dancing now

all around your head

shoulders shake...chattering teeth

the cold wind rips the covers from

your bed

the apparition-

the eyes are digging

heart is pounding

eyelids will not close

your voice is failing

the scream derailing

and she stands so near to you



and nothings sweeter than the songs you're

seeing

begging for the colder hand she hides

floating

flowing

her soul is hunting

glimmer

shimmer

white lights breaking

and fluid cries

she's reaching

screeching

imploring

seething

and the haunting

hurting

spilling

no-one knows

a kiss-like smile that leaves you beguiled

fading darkness and the whisper of a ghost
