The Conjuring Nights
In the silence of night a lone wolf howled,
I glanced at my watch, it showed twelve,
“Ding Ding” the sound of a church bell,
On spur of a moment it was blowing a gale,
Trees jived and jungle roared,
My heart was throbbing,
A sudden silence scared me to death,
Oh my god! A maniacal and demonic laughter,
A dead pale blood thirsty figure - oh! this place is haunted !!!
I ran and ran – somebody behind me,
God! A monster hand pulling my hair,
Someone dragging me to the woods,
Bushes and branches curling my knee,
I was dying and dying for help,
“Mother! save me” I cried
“Who is this?”
“Who is this?” I screamed in fear,
“YOU WANT TO SEE ME?” a creepy voice.
I stood cold and doused in sweat.
Bloody nora ! Long black strands of hair waving upside down,
In a fraction of second I heard a sound,
A horn of a car and that too not far,
I ran with open hands and cry,
The car stood, the door opened,
With no qualms I stepped into it,
I could only see a dark figure in the driver seat,
With a sigh of relief and mind of reprieve,
I wiped my sweat and tears of fear,
I checked for the door – it was closed.
“Move this place is haunted” – I yelled
Move! Move!
“BUT YOU SAID YOU WANT TO SEE ME” a creepy voice
With wide sound and scream,
It was only a dream ,
What a horrendous night..?
My God! I looked at my clock, it showed twelve.
What!!! A lump in my throat,
“Ding Ding” the sound of a church bell,
A knock on my door,
My blood ran cold,
I wrapped the blankets tighter around me,
My door creaked open.
No matter what happens I will not look,
I closed my eyes tight,
“BUT YOU SAID YOU WANT TO SEE ME” a creepy voice.
