kitty the naughty poet

Nightmare dreams

The blood-red dress she wore flowed in luscious waves down to her toes

and scarlet hair framed her porcelain painted face.

waking in a moonlit forest opening

laid upon a pile of black rose petals.

surrounded by trails

straining around the trees.

bathed in moonlights beauty

and shadows with silhouetted beasts.

the crimson flame swayed in the moonlight stream

not seeing the trees inch closer to the dancing figurine.

 

Twirling with the breeze and kicking up the petals with her feet

she still didn\'t notice as the forest grew darker

playing on her knees with the roses leaves

until looking up and staring into eyes of a beast.

crimson streak quickly gets to her feet

running down a trail kissed by moon\'s light

looking behind to check where the beast hides

only the rustle of the branches in the shadows cast her fears on high.
