Just your standard poem about sleepless nights, insomnia, nightmares, and the like. I wanted to play around with some darker imagery, since I tend to be a romantic and Wordsworth my way into a plethora of natural description and praise.
Anyone who reads this, I hope you enjoy my bleaker, cliché ramblings.

# Nightmare's Wings

**By Keskron**

Within imagination's coldest caves  
Resounds a righteous screech of flapping wings.  
At night they overcome the conscious wave  
And see the outcomes of the day as king.  
Embarking on adventures only seen  
In hazed conditions; embark on restless  
Feats of wand'ring nights, those of great serene.  
You can't escape from them. You are helpless.  
One day their skin shines with a pastel glow  
Amongst an atmosphere of flow'ry gleam  
Until smiles swoop down like weeping willows  
Creating coal and oil in violet streams.  
So whilst we toss between our cotton sheets  
Dare not to undermine the dusk's deceit.
