Description
Tucked in the covers
I shake and yawn
Sleep will come soon,
too long before dawn

Nightmares are bored
with me right now
Won't carry me off
no sweat on my brow

I can't take it.
I like being scared.

Hear the creaking
of my old door
Something scurrying
down on the floor

Should I be afraid?
Probably not.

Tick tick tocking
of my nonsense clock
Fan blades whirring
Waiting for a knock

From ol' Queen Mab
In a stained glass dress
Shadows of Morpheus,
night's caress.

Maybe you.
You haunt me you know.

Climb out of bed
and fall real high
crash through the ceiling
float through the sky

The stars are bright
when you get real close
but The Earth is dark,
just ghostly glows.

But you shine.
Most radiant of all.
