#thingsthatgobumpinthenight

how crazy was that night, immense darkness, brightest light, wildest man, wildest woman became one decadent human, halved souls, find each other, I could have stopped there, gave up worry, gave up fear, held tightly with his strength, heart surrended with intent, take my breath away, don't need to live another day, I had found it all, why go on? If I died there in those strong arms, I would have died happy. But then my most beloved, would not have achieved spectacular things, our world flies on fragile, suspended, wings.

Shadow People Waves crashing People sinking I'm screaming Soul searching Trying to pick up the pieces Pray to Gods above & Pray to Gods below Help me understand the unknown Darkness has always lingered Is there a light at the end of the journey? The silence is deafening The silence is threatening Calling out Reaching out Screaming out I keep praying Fear fall Free fall Losing my mind They keep on reaching

You lie asleep on your bed The monsters wait underneath; To grab you with their scaly hands. They smile with their crooked teeth The gremlins dance in the shadows As your closed eyes start to dream They crawl along your room, just Waiting to pounce; to make you scream In your slumber, you don't hear, Fingernails drag across your window By the bony hands of a hooded figure; The ghost of a soldier's widow. Safe and warm in your blanket, You sleep completely unware Of the howling trees and tortured wails Carried along by the cold nights air You rest, immersed in your dream, You don't hear your floorboards creek Or smell the stench of a ghouls breath Or see the sights that would make you shriek You sleep, all cozy and snug You think that everything's alright Oblivious you are to all the creatures And things that go bump in the night The sun rises and back into Their holes and corners they scurry. You awaken, well rested and fresh And continue on without a worry. You'll never know what went on While you dreamed of happy times The horrors that once lurked in your room Wait, hidden, for a chance to strike...

Things That Go Bump In The Night

You lie asleep on your bed The monsters wait underneath; To grab you with their scaly hands. They smile with their crooked teeth The gremlins dance in the shadows As your closed eyes start to dream They crawl along your room, just Waiting to pounce; to make you scream In your slumber, you don't hear, Fingernails drag across your window By the bony hands of a hooded figure; The ghost of a soldier's widow. Safe and warm in your blanket, You sleep completely unware Of the howling trees and tortured wails Carried along by the cold nights air You rest, immersed in your dream, You don't hear your floorboards creek Or smell the stench of a ghouls breath Or see the sights that would make you shriek You sleep, all cozy and snug You think that everything's alright Oblivious you are to all the creatures And things that go bump in the night The sun rises and back into Their holes and corners they scurry.
