nightmares
Curtain descends on today's stage
with night they come
raven feathers and scorching eyes
iron gauntlets and hollow cries
"thirsty," they whisper
drifting closer and closer
the terror you feel
is because you're their meal
feasting on sweet dreams
and your deepest secrets
the throbbing of your fear
is the single sound they hear
and in a flurry of silken feathers,
pale skin, and razor-edged teeth
they attack
their human snack
and before anyone knows
that they ever were here
they are gone with the night
dark-winged ghosts in human sight
dark angels, bane of men.
Did you have nightmares again?
