Killer thoughts

Now I lay me down to sleep, and all these spirits start to creep...

When I lay myself down

The invasion of my mind begins

The darkness outlines

Evil grins

These evil spirits constantly

Pushing me to double up on my sins

Demons in my mind

Engraving thoughts of death

I can smell the devils acidic breath

Lucifer's on top of me

Doing the dance of death

With my eyes closed

I can see the cloaked one

Grab my wrist

I open my eyes

And see a black mist

Twisted disgusting thoughts

Of violent murders

Spill into my hemispheres

Spirits hovering above me

With bright golden eyes

Whispering amongst themselves

About my demise

I try to move

But I'm paralyzed

I try to scream

But I am mute

These entities

Continue to pollute

my mind

With images of me

Slaughtering 

My family

I suddenly hear a voice say

"Death and suicide are on your side"

These killer thoughts

Start to subside

My eyes get heavy

I finally fall asleep

Now

The 

Nightmares

Start to creep..

wow this is the exact thing i used to go through. very scary isnt it? i used to have this happen to me when i was a kid every night. it scares the s**t out of u, u dont want to sleep or anything. its hard to know if they were dreams or real life. they felt very real so maybe i was awake i got no idea to this day.
great scary poem.
great write :)
well done.

[Rob Santana]

Exactly!!! Yeah it is scary it's been so long since I've had any experiences. I hope it stays that way. Thanks for the read Mark.

[mark]

yeah i hated it...every single night i was scared to close my eyes, getting held down and everything same thing u experienced. i havnt had any since then either...actually i had one a few months ago when i watched the unborn i seen the kid from it in my room holding my feet down that was scary but since then nothing has happened.
no worries

I know more than you know....as a teenager I saw things...felt things. And when it finds you...it messes with you forever. It has gotten better over the years. But I know what you pen about through poetry is not always fantasy. I really don't talk about it much, because I'd rather forget. But I know you are not crazy my friend. There is a real life battle going on between good and evil. I truly believe light will always win in the end...but unfortunately it doesn't make the struggle any easier.

[Rob Santana]

Indeed it does, it really never goes away. If feels good to know that you understand. Thank you Muse.

Do you mean encounter of thoughts or spirits? I read your other poem about Shadow People and you said that you often see them. Anyways Its very interesting although , I express my sympathies if it is all troubling for you.

I really like this poem. It reminds me of a song I really like called "Midnight Mist" That revolves around the same subject. I just love your words Creeper. You write in a beautiful and intelligent way.

"I can smell the devils acidic breath
lucifer's on top of me doing the dance of death"

Brilliant my friend.

[Rob Santana]

[quinfinn]

well, i don't know if this was intended because i haven't scrolled down to other reviews but...i get the distinct impression we are talking about the amityville thingy in this write. i have driven by the house in amityville on a couple of occasions and it is just a normal looking house, but it is the genuine article, according to the stories. awesome and chilling piece of writing here, creeper!

[Rob Santana]

It's weird you bring that up I was just talking to a writer here about amityville just the other day. Well Quinn I hope this doesn't scare you but this poem is from real experiences I

[Rob Santana]

I used to have when sleeping . They've stopped now. It's about 5 years now.

[quinfinn]

thank goodness for that! keep smoking whatever it is that's helping you sleep....

[Rob Santana]

hahaha, I will

[Souladareatease]

a stirring write!!!

[Rob Santana]

Always appreciate your visit odysseus, thanks.

[Souladareatease]

The first thing that came to mind was Ronald DeFeo Jr. The young guy that killed his whole family in the Amityville house. Thus starting all the controversial paranormal horror there. He was convicted of six counts of second degree murder.
I wondered if this is what it had been like in his sleep at night.
-shakes self-

Awesome job!

[Rob Santana]

I was just talking about the Defeo murders with another writer here the other day. Thanks Rogue, good to see you again.

Very descriptive, it surely draws you in like a fly to the spiders web. Once ensnared, there's no turning back...

[Rob Santana]

Thanks Dean, I agree once in the spider's web, forget about it.
