Poem: Apparition in the Night – 04/10/19

 The apparition comes in the dead of night
 One unblinking unnerving pupil
 A ghastly flowing body
  
 He enters my dreams soundlessly
 Through the cavities of my broken mind he travels quite efficiently.
 Never ceasing to amaze,
 This apparition knows how to communicate entirely wordlessly.
  
 How he emphasises his point
 Drives into the ground his defiance
 That his phantasmagoric appearance is required
 For with the night he has made an alliance.
  
 Tucked away within my mind is he
 The corners and avenues where he travels does he
 Knowing solely what he is looking for
 That one key for opening that mighty blocking locked door. 
  
 Then my secrets will spill forth,
 All, the lot of them
 To be viewed, 
 To be sifted through by him.
  
 He will never find that key
 Never, not even in my weakened state of sleep
 My dreams now provide a barrier
 Impenetrable they are, 
 No gaps, the lock is heavy, wrought, and my intention for it complete. 
  
 Phantom, you may now take leave of this scene,
 Your presence is unrequired here, 
 Your expulsion is as exactly as it seems.
