'Darkness Falls' Poem by Poison 9901

As darkness falls and the moon shines bright
We often wonder what strange creatures wander the night
Some slither and crawl and scurry about
Some take to the air and make you scream and shout

With eyes of red that glow like fire
The silence is broken by a distant crier
The sounds of which you’ve never heard
You hurry along not uttering a word

As a thick fog rolls in and descends upon the land
You feel something brush briefly against your hand
Thinking its just your mind playing tricks on you
You hurry along just wishing your journey was thru

The fog grows denser your path more obscure
The land marks you knew now become unsure
You begin to panic your heart beats faster
You break into a cold sweat your skin the color of plaster

You try to scream but no sounds come out
No one is around to even hear your feeble shout
Alone in the dark you stand in place
The look of fear engraved upon your face

From the fog ahead a figure slowly begins to emerge
In your mind the thoughts of evil you try to purge
The sounds of the night have suddenly became still
You get the feeling he is moving in for the kill

He moves thru the night air as if to be floating
The look on his face is as if to be gloating
Another victim to add to his collection
As his journey begins with a nightly resurrection

With one swift bite all you feel is his breath
Draining your life drifting closer to death
His poison courses thru your veins like a red hot knife
The promise he makes is of eternal youth and life

Life as you knew it will no longer exist
Youll spend your nights wandering alone in the mist
As a child of the night you’ll answer his beckoning call
Waiting patiently now for Darkness to Fall
