Dream a little dream of me
When you sleep
I will creep
On your fears and superstitions
While you pray
I will play
I’m the lurker in your closet
Boogeyman
Yes I can
Make you fear what lay in shadows
Scaredy cat
Insomniac
I’m the ghoul beneath your bed
I breed fright
When there’s no light
Fill you up with dread and doubt
Am I a lie
You decide
I’m the monster in your nightmares
Sending thrills
That give you chills
Just dream a big ol’ scream for me
Then face the fears
That you hold dear
Written: December 15, 2009. My first and preferred title was “Dream of Me, Scream for Me”. This poem originally featured in Dreams and Screams, a print anthology published by Liquid Imagination Magazine in August 2010.
