Dream On

Unraveling the Tapestry of a Nocturnal Nightmare

By BrendonJosephPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

In shadows deep, where nightmares breed,

A realm unknown, where fears take heed.

In slumber's grasp, a twisted theme,

Unveils a tale, a haunting dream.

The ebony sky, a tempest's dance,

Obsidian clouds in a macabre trance.

Through hollow echoes, a ghostly scream,

Awakens dread, in the realm of dream.

Visions unfold, grotesque and surreal,

A tapestry woven with threads of ordeal.

Whispers of phantoms, a chilling stream,

The murmur of darkness, a wicked seam.

Beneath the moon's spectral, muted gleam,

Silhouettes dance, in this spectral dream.

A labyrinth of anguish, a nightmarish scheme,

A tortured mind lost in its own extreme.

Through the corridors of a haunted mind,

Echoes of anguish in shadows bind.

Night's desolation, a silent scream,

In the tapestry of a haunted dream.

Yet, as dawn breaks, dispelling the gloom,

Reality beckons, dispelling the tomb.

The vestiges of terror, a dissipating beam,

In waking hours, escaping the dream.
