Terror

Ice cold darkness oozing up your spine
Shivers crawling, far from benign

A soft whisper carried on breeze of discontent
Prescience of intentions malevolent

Sensations ripple from shadow to scalp on fire
Nature recedes and by its retreat conspires

One tiny step toward fate is all it takes
Legs on fire refuse while muscle shakes

No going back and forward won't work
Panic palpable, rising terror as malignant spirit smirks

Nauseous wave crashes through mental wall
Too late to escape insidious thrall

A touch to cheek from spectral fingertip
A disembodied scream as your soul is ripped

I Saw You

I saw you,. Saw your purple aura,. Glowing next to mine,. I felt you,. Felt your hand brush up,. Against my cheek and draw a line,. I saw you,. Saw you change my vision,. Painting demons on the wall,.

Dark

Do you believe in ghouls and goblins. Keep your thoughts in your head. Dare you answer While I perch here on the end of your bed. Unseen, asking these questions While you pull your covers up.

Figure In The Mirror.

#nightdwellers (this is for you Brits. It's mid afternoon over here) Woke one night, with a pain, Hair was soaked, pillow stain. There was nothing I could hear, A human shadow did appear.

#nightdwellers On the graveyard bench After visiting Mum, A sudden chill took my breath - And overhead the cloud Boiled black. Day banished.

Run Away

Running, Along unknown shores, Running, Don't care anymore. Fleeing, Through the night, Can't stand, The harsh light. Sprinting, Away from dawn, Only evil, Comes with the morn.

Pinhead

Offer me your flesh to rip and tear. Subjugate free will and crawl to my lair. Think of me while you offer your prayer. Willingly walk to me and beyond despair.
