Demons.

Nightmares, aren't they?

"Hush-hush, baby", she said,

"The demons have all died"

Tucked her under her warm fuzzy blanket,

Waiting for her dreamy unicorns to arrive.

The scary phase then dawned upon her night,

Screaming for death and want of life.

She then cried with all her might,

Waiting for her mother to arrive.

Running across the corridors,

The mother saw her baby cry.

'Mommy-mommy, they haven't died",

She then hugged her mother with all her life,

Waiting for the images to run out of her mind,

And her dear slumber to quickly arrive.

your nightmares are soon over and sweet dreams come through, its a great poem Simran hope you did'nt have the nightmares though :)

A mother is like an angel when she protects her child from bad things in their mind. After all most of our demons are a figment of our imagination.

[Simran Kewlani]

Yeah.
Thank you for reading.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

i distinctly remember my very young self going through the monsters under the bed phase .. but i can't remember when it stopped .. it kind of quietly dissipated over time .. funny thing eh!? i especially like that first couplet ...
mothers have a special way of soothing ones fears don't they!?
E.

[Simran Kewlani]

Yeah. I still get them sometimes.
Thanks a lot, E. :)

[Einstein Noodle]

bummer! but they do go away after time .. if not there may be meaning there ... most have nightmares from time to time but those childhood demons are something else i think .. be well and prosper little Princess :)

[Simran Kewlani]

They are something else.
Those demons are the reality we are afraid to face and the consequences of the lifestyle we are afraid to live. They show us what we fear. :)
Thank you. :)
