Mind's Dark Sphere

As twilight's shadows light does fade Dark machinations interstices invade In deep crevasses, insecurities cascade In dark corners, fears, doubts parade Day's, blithe rhythms subconscious channels evade Night's diabolical inventions the deep recesses pervade My twittering eyes cannot the bleary apparitions dissuade As mind's candle flickers, o'er frontal lobes dark minions escalade As primed marionette's mimicked taunts degrade, so galvanized, inner demons perform mock charade Ghoulish forms are imprinted with a sharp spade Entreating figments as sane ideas masquerade My nurtured perceptions of reality are staid Nightmarish delusions all rational outlets blockade Portentous visions of calamitous peril overlaid Underpinning, disturbing dreams crack shallow facade Discordant tremors breach; tone deaf ears serenade Shock waves pulse down spine; nerve endings frayed
