As I Opened the Door

As I opened the door to the strangest of rooms There stood a silhouette of a man in the gloom I started to ponder upon this eerie sight Began to see features, eyes used to the light He seemed to be made of just skin and bone And towering over me, so I gulp and groan As he leaned in closer I noticed his eyes Darker than the room in which he hides The expression on his crooked face Was something from another place He had such a mysterious daze Kind of hypnotic, could not run away Out reached a hand and placed on my shoulder I gave out a scream, the evening felt colder Then I noticed how he was dressed Up to the nines, who's he trying to impress? Not me! Said I, as I slammed the door quickly Then fell to the floor, out of bed in a jiffy. With sweat pouring, heart beating fast, it seemed Twas all just a nightmare, a very bad dream! 25.09.11
