Night Terrors of the Adult Child

first scary piece

 

 

 

Forked-tongue and winged
stalkers' endless chasing
 sights of my night-walking
  twisted distorted faces

hissing, hissing
 

Frozen by fear my legs disappear
useless attempts of running
terrors steal my voice
I wake in soundless screaming

shrieking, shrieking
 

Tossed in jostled reality
nightmare's chaotic demons
upheaval of wicked and evil
long, deep, and breathing

howling, howling
 

Doomed-sleep hinges unfold
screams lucid and chilling
signal death's finishing blow
flamed torches band a coventry

huffing, huffing
 

Hooded and barbed underworld
darkened highlands and backwoods
thousands follow close and constant
heavy steps still lurking

plodding, plodding

Fear enters light of day
  shadows and ghosts forming
  underbrush and thickets curse
  popping like dry wood burning
 

crackling, crackling 

Jesters fly in the counting room
  tracking my fright in slumbar
pulling me to make friends with death 
the clock hand's endless wager

ticking, ticking

Kinda sounds like a nightmarish account of a covenant ritual. Chilling!!!

Jesters sent from the counting room
tracking fright more than scent
pulling me to be friends with death
the clock's endless hands move
ticking, ticking

I like it. It's different. Keep up the great work!
