Slumber Surreal

.

By Tony BacaPublished 3 years ago • Updated 3 years ago • 1 min read

Dancing upon my peripheral vision

Fear is instilled like a surgeon's incision

.

Darkness

.

Reflected a sign of despair

Enhancing by each sensation aware

.

Touched

.

So slight so gentle so subtle

Epidermis refusing to seek a rebuttal

.

Audible

.

Menacing footsteps approach

Determined and destined to simply encroach

.

Scent

.

Such as rotting wood decomposed

Fear in the air my location exposed

.

Departure

.

Overwhelmed, my actions defenseless

As slumber descends upon me so relentless

.

Startled

.

The visions quickly have scattered

Returned to a place in my mind that is shattered
