'beastly Dream'

'Beastly Dream'

Nipping at
My tiring heels,
Breath hot,
So close
That I can
Feel
The froth
That reeks
Behind its’ toothy
Grin.
Its’ muscled
Claws
That grip
The ground,
Scar the earth
With every
Bound,
That brings it
Closer
To my heels.
What beastly
Creature
This,
That has
My scent,
That lunges on
With no 
Relent.
Burning lungs
And tiring 
heart
Slows my pace.
I stop,
And start,
And now I
Crawl.
But not so
This furried beast
That vows
To win
This deadly
race.
My leaden legs
No longer
Run,
And this
Nightmare beast
Has gained 
The ground.
Snapping fangs
Bared wide
And sharp,
It hears the beat
Of my wild 
Heart,
So loud I’m
Startled
Wide awake,
Still snug 
And safe
In bed I
Lay,
And giggle
Beneath
My breath,
That silly mouse 
Cavorting in my dream
Nearly scared me
Half to
death.
