Shadows In the Dark Night
Darkness blights chilling
streams ignite
stark shadows silhouetted
against my window
shading the night; distilling the
availing light
shrouding my inner sanctum;
sheltering my fright
creeping and crawling with an
eery spite
ghastly outlines swaying and
swerving
wavering, quivering each fold
dances
grainy emanations of wispy
ghouls, stunted sprites
flash across bartered pane
eclipsing the night
serenating my nerves; stalking
my spirit
in rythmic cadence they appear
then alight
metastasizing, then returning,
my collected wits to spite
stealthily disappearing at
dawn's first glint
sleeping 'till twilight then
haunting vigil renews
