Sonnet of Nightmares
I tossed and turned about my bed all night
Inside my head I created horrors
Covered in sweat I mentally fought fright
Deterred by dreadfully wretched monsters
Ghouls lead me to an untimely demise
Phantoms spill my cherished, innocent blood
A basilisk looks me dead in the eyes
My body hits the ground with muted thud
My other fears, less tangible are they
Loneliness, despair, and utter yearning
For a lone bright light to take me away
One won't, I know, darkness is returning
From this horrible dream I am fleeing
Before my nightmares come into being
