Phantasmic Dreams

Those ghosts of the past play a grotesque game
pervading my dreams just faces, no names
various guises in nightmares unfold
demon's piercing red eyes-firey bold

Vampire's haunting ludicrous tooth grin
dreadful visions persisting without end
phantoms in night shadow's solemn grey tone
ghosts you can't fathom too fluidly gone

These phantasmic dreams each night take control
where ghosts of the past catch my breath,my soul
like an ominous calm before the storm
I know they'll return as if I been warned

They'll pervade my dreams and drive me insane
those ghosts of the past with their grotesque game

Ain't that the truth... those skeletons fall out of the closet at the most inopportune times.

Sorry, it needed to be said... XP
I especially liked to last line, it made me feel as if the ghosts are haunting you just for the hell of it, pun intended.
Cheers! XD

It has a certain polished feel to it, which I cannot tell if it adds or if it detracts from the work. In a sense, I feel somewhat along the lines that it was changed to fit a style more than to say what it had to say. Yet, it still says it well.
