The lights go out, I come alive <br />Increasing heartbeat makes me thrive <br />A timid rascal in the room <br />If I come out he'd surely swoon <br /> <br />I come alone, I'm here all night <br />I feed on fear, I dine on fright <br />You timid rascal in the room <br />Your corner bedroom I do loom <br /> <br />A crack of light that's in the door <br />I sneak around on darkened floor <br />That timid rascal in the bed <br />I'm right above your covered head <br /> <br />The crickets creek, the windows draft <br />My disposition is my craft <br />You timid rascal in the sheets <br />I keep you covered; my defeats.... <br /> <br />...of soothing mother in next room <br />You wish you might just slumber soon <br />But little rascals pending doom <br />Is my objection, my air loom <br /> <br />I am a monster strong of mind <br />Emotion craving is my kind <br />I want the rascal in that bed <br />To pay me heed not sleep instead <br /> <br />My clownlike face is broken, bruised <br />a foul confection on my shoes <br />My hair is soiled, my clothes too tight <br />Inside my costume is a sight.... <br /> <br />....of turmoiled faces I have seen <br />and once did see me so they screamed <br />While trapped forever in my being <br />That rascal's sure to know what seeing... <br /> <br />....and believing share tonight <br />A strange horrific clownlike sight <br />to rustle strangely near his bed <br />He'll lie awake just like I said <br /> <br />But both his eyes stay shut right now <br />I wait each night for when, where how <br />I'll get that rascal while he sleeps <br />I'll wake him with my scary feats <br /> <br />And low behold when I am done <br />He'll pass me right on to his son <br />Then soothing father coming soon <br />will all forget whats in the room <br /> <br />copyright 10-10-2008 ©® Sarah Sisson<br /><br />Sarah Sisson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bedtime-12/
