Dark Desires

Day light sets as the darkness creeps in
With the creatures of the night, their sly evil grins
 And piercing eyes that slip into our being
For there's things in the darkness that weren't meant for seeing
And the things that linger have a devilish way
Of begging to us at the sun lights last ray
To join in and just slip away
Into the abyss where the dark does play
