socks tossed to the wind
as I stand in the doorway
soiled laundry will have to wait
i need to hold on
to my grandson, in throws of
theatrical night terrors...

Life On Mars

Mars,
You are surrounded,
Stranded,
And trapped.
You bleed and bleed and bleed,
Until the planets red. 
You soak the sheets, 
And dreams are full of terrors,
As you imagine life on Mars....

I Walk With My Paper boat
Amidst my flooded city
Rushed by the strong winds
It blew my heart away
My hands touched the flood
I swirl the dark water
It reminded me of my home
Drowned by the terrors of nature...

In learn and teach, practice free speech.! Effective in
Debate. Gaining critical appraisal? that's just fate! You
Will find trial, and lot's of error; yet honestley applied
It negates all of human, fear and terrors.!...

near terrors of horror



needless fear leaving you



numb long into the dark 



not knowing how it forms



night of screams and wet tears



nervous preventing sleep 



nonstop causing distress...

In the night of dreams
I lay suffering sleepless
My fears are at peak alert
Nightmares are present
I hate terrors that I find
Now I must mop the darkness

A world of
Hurt, I can
See it in your           eyes

Nightmares
Of pain, burning
In my mind.            Can

you see it
In me? The
Terrors that             speak?

Can this really
Mean, that 
You're dying            to me?...

Some have wives
Who have turned them to wives
The daily chores are theirs
In addition to paying the dues
They dare not turn them down
Else they get the treatment of a clown
They are the terrors of their lives
The ones they call their wives....

The 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...

Giant teeth angrily ripping flesh
Maniacal laughter, internal screaming
Irregular heartbeats 
Insane night terrors 
Paralysis and yet…
Silent screams coming from somewhere

an silent green comes in between,
when you do cross the doorstep,
the lampost leans, creaks quiet obscene,
should i just take one more step,
or depart from terrors sheen,
of Russells 'Green Aura scene,'
i'll take not one more step,
between...

Untitled 


Deathly living till dying breath.
Somber dreaming a lively death.    

Body ailing, self enemy. 
Ever changing the remedy. 

Boldly living from open womb. 
Never changing, to closing tomb.

Never living a normal life. 
Ever planning for daily strife.

A cough then silence
Soft sniffle, deep sigh
Another night’s violence
Has passed safely bye

Oh others get kisses
Get tucked warm in bed
Not damp cardboard boxes
With night’s terrors to dread

By this he accused us
It was all that he said
As she slept clutching Teddy
In her newspaper bed...

Footprints against golden grains, whirls mar reflecting ocean glass
The world moves without a breath, sunshine stroll the full green forest
The night is dark and full of terrors, will the cold soul find peace

 Blow me some courage for these mysterious fears,
Whose hidden challenge lies beneath the tears.

Where once a fool dressed in a pond of terrors, 
Flashed the demons onto the arrogant mirrors.

And into the closet of the silent clamor,
Leaps the light of the once known glamour. ...

can i follow you around
like a love sick puppy
can i show you off 
all around town
will you cuddle up 
when it's quiet
would you mind
if i hold you dear
but nothing really matters
because what i need
is some one there
when i lay down
and walk the would
where all humanity's
terrors run free...

I'm with you, always near, 
Through dark shadows, valley of death and strange nightmares, 
Do not fear! 

Rest in My shade
When terrors catch you unawares, 
They'll fade! 

Away, 
hair-raising scares! 
Pray! 

I'm with you, always near, 
When terrors catch you unawares, 
Pray!

I wake up screaming, then I fall back asleep.
Before the night is over this process will repeat.
When I awake for the day I have no memory
of my previous evening's most disturbing sleep.
These aren't nightmares. They're inconceivable horrors.
I think I may be afflicted with what is known as night terrors....

Programing a VCR and other terrors 


In the old days
I used to dread
the chore 
of programing my VCR
just never got the hang
of doing that

the VCR sat there
taunting me
begging me
to do it 
to her

but I just never could
learn how to program
that damn machine

Other people’s nightmares and night terrors do not interest me
Or persuade, coax or encourage me to have my own.
I refuse to acknowledge their existence.
Others tell me cryptic tales, sharing morbid woes.
I slumber as peacefully as a newborn colt
Dreaming of the good life
A bobcat’s scream changes me forever...
