Nightmares Don’t dare to dream. The demons lurk in the darkness waiting to strike the moment you turn out the light. Let me torment you instead. Lying naked in your rumpled bed, legs wide, arms stretched and your body dying for my lustful caress. Surrender your certainty into the night of unwary delights. What most do you fear. The reality or the dream. Does the bogeyman live under your bed or inside your head. Is it deep within or far without? Find yourself a corner to hide you. Pull in and hold on. Must it be so dangerous? you cry gently. I stroke the sweet curve of your back down to the crack And feel you shudder. But not from fear. This is the way to deal with nightmares - ride them away.
