PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

constant crackling on the outside in the dark
you get out of bed and creep to window
nothing there
you go back to sleep
shortly after you hear a scream
you hear it clear
you go back to the window
nothing is there
you go back to sleep
now hesitant to fall into a slumber
you see a shadow in the light of the thunder
you go to the windom yet again
nobody to blame
it might be in your head
you go back to sleep
now u lie awake
begging for a reason to remain sane
another noise outside
step away from the window
head back to bed precious
go back to sleep
child, let the boogeyman go
count sheep iuntil you fall asleep
to the rhythm of war drums
step away from the window
no reason to beleive
go back to sleep
deep echoes run thru your mind
getting louder all the time
you roll over shaking
fearing what you know is outside
but all you can do is go back to sleep
to the beauty in a war drum
