Doorway to Dreams

Sitting upon marble steps
my psyche waits
for sleep to take me
before her the Doorway to Dreams
never knowing what awaits
beyond the threshold

As I lay back in bed and
contemplate the days events
waiting to settle my mind
enough to drift off
I wonder if I shall dream tonight
my last thought
is of his beautiful eyes

my psyche and I meet on the steps
and as I melt into her she
enters the ancient opening

It is dark and eerie
and night sounds abound
as a cold chill creeps up her
spine
no one there, that can be seen
but senses tingling
she is not alone

Glowing eyes greet her in the darkness
and a deep growl emanates from all around
this is not the dream I was hoping for
she looks around frantic as I toss and turn
in slumber

As the eyes lunge forth and
she and I both scream
she there and I in my bed
I awake frieghten
and she again waits
at the Doorway to Dreams
