Summon Me I'll shall Appear

I am the darkness that falls in to your dreams
The nightmare that last longer throughout the night
The catcher of fear to lock-up the soul
A snatcher of spirit through a night invitation ceremony
The only red light in the alley of doom
I was feared by many more still counting
I'm only summoned by the strongest heart to fight their worst nightmares
As I do not produce news of trend
I only inflict pleasure smeared with pain endurance
Suffered tears has more deeper meaning than spells collected in my creation
It brings excitement in my ears
To listen to a prayer while pledging for forgiveness
It warms the ban inside me to unleash your reward of anguish

My story was never told or written in any mark
The body count shall be my tittle while it's trailing tall

And my name will run through history of dream terrors

Release me!

In your dreams I shall appear

"Close your eyes
Hist my name silently
Dream me inside your dreams while passing through the grave yard
See the Yat pulling fast in the lake, let the water consume you and I shall appear in your death dream
Finally smile with a purpose of knowing that your last breath shall sink in the pillow till eternity"

Here's my take-

Overall, the poem is a masterful exploration of the darker aspects of the human psyche, and the world of nightmares and the subconscious. It's a haunting and unsettling read that will leave the reader with a sense of unease and discomfort.
