Slumber in Moonlight
by Dale Clark → (All Poetry by Dale Clark)
  
Share   Print  Save   Follow   Share on Facebook


slumber is mysterious
moonlight floods in window panes
aghast at the ghosts
that float in the silver sky

sleeping can be treacherous
when phantoms haunt your dreams
glowing from that midnight light
a halo stretches into your mind

sluggishly in slow motion
when you try to flee
an apparition appears hovering
someone dear yet long departed

stairway creaks and groans
you’re hearing things move
darkness surrounds the shadows
you look upon them and moan

dreaming can be hazardous
especially when you fly
suddenly falling towards earth
you awaken in a cold sweat

nightmares neigh and whinny
awakening the ghosts
slightly askew is your view
a grim reaper appears grinning

moonlight floods your room
washing your soul with silver
flushing away the phantoms
showering the dark shadows

You slumber in moonlight!
