Infiltrate the night
Invade peaceful slumber
Distorting thoughts
Inducing flight

Though no blood is shed
You will perish in your head
Waking to find
In panicked breath
Its completely surreal

Dreams twine round your heart
Blood pounding fiercely
Waking with a start
Leaving you in a lustful sweat
Without warning suddenly depart


Dreams of snakes
In terror your body quivers and shakes
Screams that no one can hear
The ability to instill fancy or fear
Such is the power of dreams
