Premium Member sleep paralysis

one half’s an arc the other a strobe ~ light becomes your coagulant 

signals and synapses firing off sparks ~ try open eyes but you can’t 

all bound together forming a dream ~ welded to the somnambulant

Lover

As weakening as the sleep paralysis
You creep in unexpectedly 
Making me weak everytime

Your words makes everything seem superfluous 
Making me think I've not been alive till now
Your sweet tongue tames me

Your sultry eyes ignites a fire in my heart
Making my heart soft as the fur of a chinchilla 
Sending shivers down my spine everytime

Your love rubs off on me
One could swear it's notoriously contagious
Because I've learnt from you
How to be a sweetheart

Sleep Paralysis

It always ends the same drenched in sweat and fear.
The pain of death always feels so real and near.
Stuck frozen in place, eyes wide.
It crawls around my room I'm paralyzed,
Eyes dart across the room horrified.

It reaches my bed where I lay in a death state
Nails dig into my shoulders as it leans in. I feel like bait.
My ears ring from the loud cries. It wants my soul.
Jokes on it, I'm ginger so I only have a black hole.
Released but not forgotten, I'll see it again tonight.
