Monsters~~Poetry~


they are swarming, calling, howling
I really don’t know what they’re doing
they come in numbers, never few
where they come from, I have no clue

if I have a finger or a toe
in the wrong place
they come with their hatchets
from under the floor
how am I supposed to escape?

so I roll onto the bed and try to block it out
not wanting to analyze what these little creatures are all about

I wonder if I will ever have a night
when these monsters don’t send me into fight or flight

What Happens in The Dark~~Poetry~


it’s dark
I approach the mirror
and try to face my fears

I see a face
but I don’t recognize it
I can’t even describe it
but it’s not  me

I turn around and smell
the scent of blue
yet it’s still dark

I slip on secretions
left behind by snails
slickering through the dust

it’s a disaster I never saw coming
and it’s so early in the morning
I just want to go back to bed

even though I am filthy from head to toe
and even though I thought I had every resource available

I went back to my nice clean bed and corrupted its flesh

and I slept until I never woke up again
