Shadows Creep

Here is a recent poem of mine.


Wake me
Wake me
Shake me from this hollow sleep
shallow dreams, shadows creep
under eyelids, underneath
hallowed ground never found

Take me from this special place
neither here, nor there
shadows wept when I turned away
from the place I thought I'd lay
hallowed ground I wished I'd stay

shadows creep all around
every memory, every sound
for every light that shined
shadows not far behind

Woke me
did the moonlight howl
drenched in sweat, dark abound
the sun rises soon
hallowed ground I'm not around

but shadows do creep about
