Alone in the Dark
The Darkness
Stills neither
The heart
Nor the mind
But rather
Excites them
To clamor
And bind
The silence
Is moving
And waiting
To strike
With tooth
And with claw
Will it drain you
Of life
Fight now
With tremor
And panic
And fear
Allow them
To whisper
Of Death
In your ear
Allow them
To tear
All the flesh
From your bones
And scatter
The ruins
Which once
You called home
Then
Will you see
Her, with terrible
Glee
The Eater
Of children
Who sets
The world free
She’ll rip
Through your vision
And render you
Blind
By this act
She is
Incredibly kind
“Be not afraid!”
Said a childish
Dolt
Writhe now
In terror
As all senses
Revolt!
The Other
Approaches
From dark gloomy
Shade
Its tendril like
Legs
Shall wrap
And evade
