Our Boogeyman


There is a boogeyman within
this home of ours, we swear he's here!
He comes and goes to mess with us
and bring about a silly fear.

It happens if we're here or not; 
he seems to go from room to room
to keep us guessing why we see
phenomena...

This boogeyman was scared of the dark
But tried frightening kids in the park
When dusk started to fall
For his mummy he’d call
He'd go dashing home quick as a lark

Young children thought it was great fun
Seeing the poor boogeyman run
They’d leap out from a bush
Make him fall...

We lived in a home near 
the edge of the woods.
Old wooden floors would 
creak with every step.
One night when I was 
home alone with only our
German Sheppard dog, 
Shep, to keep me company,
The boogeyman came calling. 
He was dressed all in black 
with a...

Walking through portraitures discordant nightmare

Acutations better part, of singulars far too long?!

Enunciating endogenous skeletons; less proxy....

Amid the harrowing graveyard of their bones

Decaying biosphere chambers these tales

In secrets they have never told!?

Slumber gathering beyond the iron gates

Atop the sepulchers betwixt gray stones

Virtual tombs marking time which...

     When I was about eight years old we lived in an old  house.  It had three stories
 
plus an attic and like any old house it had creaks and groans.  At night the house

seemed haunted.  Well,...

Bed time story

  Night sky stood still inky dark and gloomy
  There came a light that flickered zigzagging behind the clouds
  a sudden resounding loud sound of cymbals
  Heavy pouring rain commenced

In my pajamas with heavy eyelids it is time for...

The Boogeyman
Sponsor: Nayda Ivette Negron

He’s a creepy and crawly shadow from the light,
     squeamy and haughty who awakes in the night.

Screams from the child who becomes afraid,
     poor Andy cries out but on his bed he does...

"10:00 P.M."

I creep to a nearby house to ask for food. Three weeks
back I met Buddha in a morgue. He told me to detach
myself from eating human flesh. So hard I resisted,
but managed. Now I'm a vegetarian!

"10:24 P.M."

Tired of knocking the door, I decide to...

There is no specific appearance attributed
to the horrifying Boogeyman, he may resemble 
Windico or diabolic Krampus; these creatures
are spiteful and like to punish only the good kids.
In my childhood he came around and hunted
my longest nights and alone I started to tremble.

The frightening Boogieman was...

The Boogeyman



"Lay your head down child I won't let the Boogeyman come"
another infamous Tool ballad blares out of the speakers.
"Go back to sleep, go back to sleep..."
James (now 14) hits the power button and says to himself
Ha! There ain't no boogeyman in my closet anymore!
Kids...

Silent as mist, I roam,
my world is the still depths of  blackest night.
In search, yes, endless search,
seeking the child of gray to black heart.
Though forewarned, bad children are abundant,
those pure of heart to be spurned in nights passage.
I find the child of innocent heart,...

Darkness enfolding me, laying in bed.
Cool crisp sheets touch. Softness cradling head.
Sandman's hand reaching for his due embrace.
Nighttime's chilling air kissing at my face.
Denied dreams requiem, and the rest it brings.
Trying to ignore as anguished thought sings.
Giving up hope. Another night sans sleep.
Desperate frustration making...

He is a creature of the night
lives deep inside your closet
comes out after midnight
have you not heard the gossip?

he is coming for me 
that's how the rumor has it
he is coming for you
so we both have to face it

we haven't been good
today we misbehaved
mom and...
