Sleeping With The Dead

Sleeping With The Dead

A Poem by Eric Cox

Imagine seeing and feeling the dead
in your sleep in your bed
this nightmare could come to thee
and you may not be able to break free
you will see skeletons and cobwebs
dead bodies and coffins for beds
bodies decomposing
and trapped souls whispering
life echoes in their minds
death forever intertwines
in spooky old cemeteries
and creepy mortuaries
you will feel the essence of death
you'll be caressed by dead breath
living corpses will haunt your soul
dead fingers will play in your skull
you'll see dead bodies and skeletons and cobwebs
you'll breathe the decay from the coffin beds.
