Excellence Award in the 'Read Write Repeat 2015' competition

Nightmares are;
Tainted illusions of trickery,
Bleeding fluids of others splattered onto a canvas,
A disease that infatuates lost souls with the concept of death.
Nightmares are sleep deprived angels taunting their victims;
Dangerous intentions
Bloody knives,
Intoxicating us with poisonous chimes.
Nightmares are murderous thoughts that stray amiss;
Endless images of the darkening abyss,
Satan’s affection with a sealed kiss.
Nightmares are when the liquor meets my lips.
