Sunflowers face off.
They’ve come alive.
Invade my dreams.
Star in my nightmares.
Green arms to strike.
Yellow faces too grim.
A field behind each.
Ready for the battle ahead.
THE DEAD GAME
The house sits alone,
Night after night.
Ghosts inhabit its walls.
Demons live below its floors,
Waiting for the night
When the moon bleeds red
And shadows walk tall.
Lights shine through the windows.
Sounds creep from the basement.
It’s time.
My dreams haunt me.
They torment me each night.
They follow me,
Giving my heart a fright.
I’ve put my demons in my book
To ease my troubled mind.
Why don’t you take a closer look,
And see what you can find?
They fly through the trees
Over the deadly mist
Landing in the forest
Where no man walks
And no light penetrates
this nightly playground

How can this be real?
I don’t know what I feel.
He’s a demon to me,
who won’t set me free.
THE DEAD GAME
The sun rises over the red water,
red from the bloodshed that night.
Bodies wash up on the shore,
vestiges of the parties held that night.
Bloody footsteps mar the shoreline
left by The Dead walking at night.

THE PERFECT HUE
The road extends to the sea,
where creatures can roam free.
Blue tinges the sky and flowers,
an indigo of dark powers.
The town lies ahead,
where I’ll lay my head.
Dreams will take me away
to a place with no gray.
Only bright colors for my day
in this new place, I want to stay.
Fear not the witches in the night,
but enjoy each day as you might.
An Oasis waits now for you,
a rainbow in a perfect hue.
THE DEAD GAME by Susanne Leist
Stop me.
Cage me.
Bury me.
Beneath the house.
In the dungeons.
I will return
And take back the town.

FIRES OF HELL
A hot sight to see.
Now part of the sea.
Gone the lush paradise
By a toss of the dice.
THE DEAD GAME by Susanne Leist
The mannequins are alive!
Their eyes follow me.
They taunt me.
I’ll use the fireplace poker.
They’ll never follow me again.
And I’ll be free.
No!
Its arm is still moving!
