Poetry: Dark dreams

by K.C. Jean Kellam

Dark dreams that haunt my thought and sleep

Black nightmares into my mind do seep

Like a poisoned plant with evil intent

Their twisting vines I do resent

Flowering buds that smell so sweet

To lure me in to an evil retreat

With bedlam and mayhem and malicious intent

Their twisting vines I do resent

Thick, heavy leaves to block the light

Inspiring fear throughout the night
