I Fear The Incubus

I never dream of where I’m going,

Only where I fear to be,

Dawn brings fantasized exhaustion,

My body is rested, but not my mind.



Pulsing blackness of the room mixes

With the bruised darkness of my

own eyes. Smoky murkiness is

only a threat of the fire to come.



I claw at the snatches of light that

promise safety. But all must

sleep. In the end, I give in to

the Sirens’ call, beckoning me into…



Where? I do not know where I will go.

Dreams are fickle things that have

no master. Pills suppress but do

not control the twisted selection of nostalgia.



Why do I fear what I will forget

in the morning? Daylight finds

me scoffing at my terrors. Yet

they are real again when the darkness falls.
