A Dark Night

It was a dark night with a full moon I decide to go sit out on the porch The dark lake was lit up by a torch Feeling tired, hoping you are home soon As the water starts to ripple in the breeze I see a large creature emerge in the light Scared, I can’t move, I am frozen in fright I can barely breathe, as I start to wheeze It looks long and huge, and black in color Not really like a gator or any type of fish I watch and pray it goes away soon, I wish It swims closer to shore, and starts to hover I quickly run inside and lock my door Panic stricken, not sure what to do I hear a car door; I hope and pray it’s you I hear a helicopter, as I drop to the floor I wake up to your kisses on my lips I am in my bed with your arms around me I must have been dreaming, I smile with glee I start to get out of bed as your hands grip You say, I must have drunk way too much wine I was passed out on the floor when you came home I said I saw a huge creature, something scary, unknown Yes, you tell me, it’s a secret experiment, our goldmine 8/18/19 Contest: Writing Challenge 2, August 2019 - Enclosed Rhyme Sponsor: Dear Heart
