When Nightmares Rule

I write to live and I live to write,

I write of things of deepest night,

I write of dreams to give a fright,

of darkness without a hint of light …

I write of things of horrible sight,

of tainted men with fated plights,

I write of wrongs to be made right,

if one should live to see daylight …

I write of a naive benighted fool,

whose keyboard is his only tool,

to dispel the terrors held so cruel,

rerun's requiems of bloodiest duels:

Savoring all their pain the only rule,

victims butchered in agony's school,

winding up dead is to be a dead fool,

befriending fools his most favorite tool …

Cries for mercy shrieks haunt the night

-- O' that most terrifying time of night,

when one's fate becomes one's plight,

that time of deepest darkest night

-- when nightmares rule!

"rerun's requiems of bloodiest duels"
wish I had written that line.
nightmares intrude on sleep and we are at their mercy.
are we fools? or do the nightmares just try to make us feel that is so?

[Marvin Thomas Cox-Flynn de Graham]

Thanks for reading Jacob ...

Yeah, I wrote the little poem for my Dark Story Series & Collection book, When Nightmares Rule & Other Riveting Tales
