In Sleep They Sing to Me

In Sleep They Sing to Me

A Poem by The Bard's Apprentice
"

Warning: dark angst from sleepless nights of terror

"

 

Darkened, dank, and dripping dreams
Devoid of anything not dipped in fear.
Doused in all the ancient anxieties,
The sapien mind devolving more each night.
 
It slowly sinks through the sleeping cells,
Each molecule mauled by monstrous clouds.
Storming, wrenching, crying clouds
Attacking, crushing, scraping through.
 
The crisp edges of sanity blur
 In this the waking world.
Screams echo against the cerebral walls.
 
In sleep they sang to me.
The dreams, they came.
The voices call to me
And speak my name.
And in this labyrinth
Where night is blind,
 
The mediums of my jaded mind
Scream and kill for all of time.
