Night Fear

I can in my mind Blank eyes I can find In mist and steam of a ghost eye bright. I fear from my youth From my cap to my boots The shadows and cold frights of deep in the night. My ears hear no ring No singer to sing Behind each dark tree lurks pure strife. My heart beats to fast Should it be my last. From whatever hides so deep in the night. Cold shivers my spine I am frozen in time Vampires, demons, long fangs that bite. I hurry my pace Before they give chase. These evils and devils which owns the dark night. From fences dogs bark, From streets where cars park. I hurry my stride in fright without sight. I arrive at my door Safe I am once more. And I laugh at myself for my unfounded fright.
