Best Terrors Poems
An Invitation To Night TerrorsLay your head beside mine if you dare and enter the world of my nightmare. A long hall
before you is lined by many doors, and opening each one exposes terrifying horrors.
Unlock the first and see the cemetery where so many ancestors...

Night TerrorsHow silly for me to fear going to sleep
when I need sleep so much.
The intensity of fearful thoughts
consumes me, and I just can't sleep.
When pure exhaustion overcomes me
I drift off and pray that this night
will be different....will be night terror free.
Free from...

Of Terrors and Men(TO THE VICTIMS OF WAR IN MY NATIVE
CAMEROON AND IN NORTHERN NIGERIA)
Giants
Have filled
The FAR North
Sweeping
Bloodbathing
With sophisticated
Heavy weapons
Connected on a
Barren land
Communicating
As from satellites,
Techniques and
Outfits of
The expedition
They got THERE
Thundering,
Murdering,
Raping, and
Reaping
The scarce
Bank notes kept aside
To launch our...

Night TerrorsI slumber, I sleep, so deep and oh so long
I feel a force pulling me down, down, something's wrong.
Its dark, as dark as pitch but strangely I still can see,
shadows pass, I'm scared, the faint light calls to me.
I'm being pursued and I know not...

Night Terrors Restless sleep triggers delusional dreams,
that your beleaguered brain surrenders to.
And from night terrors, you awake to screams
for it feels so real; you think it's true
that spectral shadows are pursuing you;
and powerless, there's nothing you can do.
Though safe in bed, you feel you're in peril,
unable to...

Night Terrorsi never had night terrors,
but i know a guy that did.
he used to go outside at night
and scream that the elephants
were coming.
now the elephants were bigger than me.
this i knew, and it was that that i felt
when i was awoken, and realized what he was...

Night TerrorsTHE BOOGEYMAN WILL GET YOU-LOOK OUT!!
They have said that to me ever since I was a wee boy
Lurking under the sheets,in the closet,behind one's back
Especially at night when we are susceptible to the vivid
imaginations of our peers' taunting ravings of Unmentionable
crawlers of the dark...

Night TerrorsWhy can’t I sleep, when will this end, this up all nights, becoming a trend, I can’t switch off, my head is full, my lights are out, my room is dull, there’s not much noise, my comfy bed, these nasty voices, inside my head, they...

Night TerrorsThe dishes in the sink rattle loudly
The wind howling like the grey wolf
The floors creaking when no one's there
The lights begin to flicker
The shadows move about
Shivers run through me
Someone's watching
The door cracks
Haunted
Night...

Night TerrorsUsed and abused
Lies and misused
I'm sick of the person I've become
So sick of all of the wrong that I have done
Change is something
I strive for everyday
But it's so hard
The abuse keeps the pain away
So I stay at bay to keep the...

Night Terrors
In the pitch darkness of the night
Where nightmares come to fright and haunt
I lie awake my heart in flight
In the pitch darkness of the night
Praying, pleading, for morning light
When fearsome terrors cease to taunt
In the pitch darkness of the night
Where nightmares come to fright and...

It sits hiding in the deep recesses of the mind, waiting in the dark for the moment when it can attack. Riding upon the winged beasts of the night, bringing horrors untold to those unaware of their intent. Asleep and unable to defend one’s...

Night TerrorsNIGHT TERRORS
When distant daylight is spent and spilled,
My lamp alone lights the curtained darkness
Of unseen fear, which has always filled
The weary black pit yawning endless
Into the night; and all the unknown
Terrors of the dreamworld
Conspire to extinguish my lamp lone
When the...
