As I lay here in sleepless night... <br />Will I dream the dreamed lit fright? <br /> <br />Will this night frighten me scared? ... <br />Will it remember my sleepless cared. <br /> <br />Will the tiredness, call me scared? ... <br />Be it wreaking nothing bared. <br /> <br />In my most untrusted being... <br />Will I blindly miss my seeing? <br /> <br />In the early rising Sun... <br />Will the terror, remainly run. <br /> <br />Deeper, deepest all night long... <br />Ingrained beneath my slumbered song. <br /> <br />Had I heard the words, so clear? ... <br />Had the spectered, to reappear? <br /> <br />Hid by all his whispered words... <br />Beyond the flight of flightless birds. <br /> <br />As if in that dream lit night... <br />Of all unholy, terrored sight. <br /> <br />Terrored sight, be all his grim.... <br />Torn asundered, by his trim. <br /> <br />In his shadowed parlored tricks... <br />Spent less hours, sleep of six. <br /> <br />Will he come to take me home? ... <br />Will I rest, before, I roam? <br /> <br />Will that ghost say to me? ... <br />You'll die dreadfully, unfree!<br /><br />Michael Gale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/as-i-lay-in-sleepless-night/
