Walk Turned Nightmare Part II

Walk Turned Nightmare Part II

As we left in fear that day,
So desperately to escape,
In silence we did not sit,
As we talked about events,
That happened to us today.

Halfway down the road we were,
When suddenly not alone,
The palest white we did turn,
As laughter filled the air.

It wanted us to know you see,
An easy escape would not be,
For it followed us home it seemed.

As we sat in fear that night,
Hours passed with not one peep, 
Thinking we were clear and free,
Proven wrong just wait and see.

As we laid our heads in rest,
Awaken in a dream,
To creatures around my bed,
As laughter filled the dream.

As they stood in a trance,
I could not help but to stare,
For their appearance was not a scare,
Darken sockets is how they saw,
Ragged clothes is what they wore,
As they smiled with those stitches,
I could not help but to laugh,
As scarecrows surrounded me.

Soon my laughter turned to freight, 
As they held hands and chanted rhymes,
Out the window I did flee,
Not before one grabbed me.

Chanting away they still did,
As they dragged me down the stairs,
Out the door, into the streets,
A fork in the road is where we stopped,
As laughter appeared once more.

A little girl appeared to me,
For innocent she did not be,
Blacken eyes pierced through me,
Making movement hard to be.

As I stood in a trance,
With the demons I chanted,
Words of rhymes,
Made no sense.

As frightening as that must be,
I did not just chant in my dream,
For waken from a frightful dream,
I was truly chanting loud you see.

This is quite the poetic tale of trembling terror, Tara.
How's that for a bit of impromptu alliteration, 'ey?
You just gotta love the Crypt Keeper from HBO's Tales From the Crypt, heh-heh-heh...

That's where I learned how to use alliteration in dark poetry–by watching his introductions over and over again.

After I'd finished reading I found myself wondering if something like this had actually happened to you.
Or, was this merely imaginative speculation?
Well penned...

I love tales from the crypt one of my favorite midnight horror show, I used to stay up late just to watch. Yes Dean it did happen its the rest of the story that followed from the day we went to visit my families graves. Lets just say my cousin who was asleep in my living room I woke her up because I could not sleep. I don't think I would have been so scared if I didn't wake up to chanting whatever it was out loud. That is when I realized that I do not think it was really a dream but a parallel universe that I was sucked into through the dream world. I am still trying to figure out creative words, you should see my ruff draft scribbles every where ha ha eventually one day I will get the playful words down. It has been so long since I have written poems I used to do it all the time. Then one night it hit me again I just started writing just out of the blue.

Inspiration can often be found in the strangest places, Tara, and at the oddest of times.
I write to purge my soul, if you will. It seems to help me deal with my PTSD quite a bit.
Anyhow, what a frightening free-for-all that must have been!
You're very welcome,
~Dean ♥♫♪?♪♫♥
