a blanket of warmth,\
comfort on all sides\
out there are monsters,\
beneath I must hide

when darkness creeps in,\
security squandered\
towards evil and horror,\
my mind has wandered

please, tuck me in,\
as snug as a bug\
lest I fall victim,\
to ungodly hug

the hours are ticking, \
time slips away\
up rises sun's safety,\
to begin a new day\

from goblins and ghouls,\
at once I am free\
to wish that tonight,\ 
they will hear my plea
+++
A place I know is mine\
Soft cushioned for retreat\
Where I can self enshrine\
Until refresh complete\

This sanctuary changed\
As my mind developed\
Now finding myself drained\
When by dark enveloped

If it were but a beast\ 
A monster to be slain\
A hopeless fight at least\
Would comfort, though in vain\

Instead it's my own wit\
Besieged by thoughts that swarm\
To slip in endless pit\
Caught by this mental storm
