Michael Chau Poems

I was at home, all alone.
In the dark and dreary night,
The sound of screaming, the sound of fright.
I hear a whisper in my ear.
...

Shhh. Something’s coming from someplace I don’t know.
It’s coming in fast and definitely not slow.
It came from somewhere, maybe behind that tree.
All I know is that it’s coming for me.
...

She was cheery, she was energetic,
She had light that could fill up space.
But something or someone in this cruel, cruel world
Was trying to put it out of place.
...

From the center of the stage,
To the halls or the street.
No matter where you are,
Your beauty is always just as sweet.
...

There you were next to me,
Throughout the whole night.
Why didn't I try anything?
You were right there in my sight.
...

Love is a mystery,
Something hard to define.
If you try to look it up,
Many answers you will find.
...

Quiet! I have something to tell,
Even if I want to scream I can’t even yell.
I heard a knock…, a creek…, a sound like a BOOM!
I know that this will be my doom.
...

Run away! Run away! The creature's behind me.
It's huge and reckless can't you see.
I have to get out before it gets me.
This hidious thing is moving like crazy.
...

I am lost in the shadows of the world.
All by myself in the deep, deep cold.
The only thing I see is a tiny door.
If I open it, I won't be cold anymore.
...

One quiet evening, with nothing to do,
Little old Ricky went to the door and put on his shoes.
He went for a walk all by himself,
But what he didn't know is that there was something else.
...
