Phantasmagoria
The dimly lit stage has
Been so lavishly set as
Obscure shape-shifting
Images and frightening
Apparitions tend to slip
In and out and between
Nightmarish dreams of
Lucid unconsciousness.
A dream within a dream
Becomes reality when it
Makes you scream or so
It may seem as darkness,
A black cloud, descends
From the rafters, from the
Heavens, to the unwitting
Participants in their beds.
A kaleidoscope of terror,
Of night sweats, of horror,
Euphoria and hysteria all
Wrapped together within
A veil of phantasmagoria.
