Literary: Tales at Bedtime

10/30/2020 07:32:00 PM Media Center 0 Comments

a drowsy midnight it is
full moon serves
as the only lamp
and the artistry
of imagination
ushers you
to numerous tales
of reality itself

saying there is
no such thing
as Dracula
our own youth
will soon cease

that we are the ones
piercing needles
into our own dolls

that phantasms
of yesterday’s
monstrous incidents
have been leading you
to an empty void

at last,
the mind’s candle
has gone out
providing a quick escape
but the scenery
of haunting tales
still manifests
in your whole psyche
