Waking Dreams

Cold shiver awakens damp tears dripping
Sweat trickles down a bony spine
Upper lip displays the quiver
Yet the eyes stay fixed

Honourable honour of ancient tales appear
Shreds lives and takes away the mind
Madness is all that is felt
Soul forever missed

Next, becomes the living nightmare creeping
Shattered brain spasms with shocks
Hallucinatory stories follow
Death puckers lips

Camp fire tells tales of morbid stories
Thrilling those who sit and listen
Wallow in the entertainment
Of stolen lives

Shakes and fear take over what’s left
Of shattered fragile bit of brain
Condemned to watch forever more
A body twist with hate

Imagination controlled by darkness
Forever stripped of nothing more
Than thoughts of living
Dreams of dying
