Insidious Dreams

DeathHasForm

In the shadows of my dreams,
A white hot light burns and crackles into existence.
A threshold defiant of the inky darkness.

From this portal, she materializes...
Eyes searing deep to the core of my soul,
Poised, watching... Waiting.

I falter, turn, flee.
Run until my breath grows ragged,
Until my legs fail me.
Exhausted, I collapse,
Turn to see the ground I've made.

I've gone nowhere.
There she still stood,
Unmoving.
Poised, watching...
Waiting.
