THE CLOWN OF YOUR NIGHTMARES


carnival

A day of fun for all.
Follow the bouncing ball
past the booths of games
to the house of mirrors.
Inside, you’ll find me,
a clown of your nightmares,
ready to take you on a tour
that will lead to endless horrors.
This isn’t a carnival
but a voyage into your nightmares.
Buckle your seat belts
and enjoy the ride.

IT COMES IN THE NIGHT


Source:


It comes in the night.
It comes to all.
To all who sleep.
To all who lie awake.
It comes on soft wings.
It comes in silence.
I lie and wait.
In trepidation.
In fear.
For it.

WHO BELIEVES IN MAGIC?


Mountain Goat by nigel3

Who believes in magic?
Fairies?
Unicorns?
They are part of our dreams.
Here’s to fairy dust, wizards, and vampires.
Witches, demons, and monsters.
Without them,
there would be no dreams
or nightmares.

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN



We are coming to a town near you.
We walk the nights.
When morning comes,
we’re gone but not forgotten.

THEY DO EXIST



Of course, they do.
Who else keeps you awake at night?
Who haunts your nightmares?
Your mother-in-law?
No.
It’s The Dead.
They walk the streets of Oasis.
They take their victims with stealth and finesse.
Find them in THE DEAD GAME.
They return in PREY FOR THE DEAD.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

RISING FROM THE DEEP


Source:

The night caters to our whims.
It follows our deadly sins.
Our darkest nightmares come alive.
We’ll do anything to survive.
Monsters stalk us in our sleep.
Creatures rising from the deep.
It creaks open the bedroom door.
I see it move across the floor.
My head turns to accept my doom.
I am one of them all too soon.

THE VOICE



The evil lies within.
Each of us has the voice.
The voice enticing us to be bad.
It offers suggestions for revenge.
Immoral ways to succeed.
It never sleeps.
It appears in our nightmares.
Forever ready to lead us
down dark pathways.
Always on the hunt for
new followers.
We don’t have to feed it.
But let it starve.

YELLOW NIGHTMARE




Sunflowers face off.
They’ve come alive.
Invade my dreams.
Star in my nightmares.
Green arms to strike.
Yellow faces too grim.
A field behind each.
Ready for the battle ahead.

NEVER SLEEP




They never sleep.
They walk the nights.
They roam into your bedrooms
and your nightmares.
They haunt the hotel,
where the wealthy play.
They take from the best
to assuage their needs.
They never sleep.
They walk the nights.
They hide in their mansions
from the Oasis sunshine.
Dark shadows roam
the streets of our town.
They never sleep.
They walk the nights.

BOOK OF NIGHTMARES



My dreams haunt me.
They torment me each night.
They follow me,
Giving my heart a fright.
I’ve put my demons in my book
To ease my troubled mind.
Why don’t you take a closer look,
And see what you can find?

DESTINY CALLS MY NAME


Source:

Destiny calls my name.
It brings me to this house.
Others are here.
Trapped in their nightmares.
Prisoners of their minds.
Frozen in this hell.
We will not succumb.
We will not allow 
Our fears to rule us.

ABYSS OF THOUGHTS

FACE THE DEVIL




I walk in the dark woods.
Soft cries fill my ears.
The same cries of my nightmares.
I know what waits for me in the forest.
Goosebumps riddle my chilled flesh.
The evil one calls to me.
My heart beats to his drum.
He wants me to join him.
He plays for keeps.
I will go now
and face the devil.
