Silhouette of Menace

The sun sank on the transit, took away colors of the chameleon sky, the masked face of clever craft made me walk on the dark garden path. In the sinister night of broken dreams, I didn’t hear the footfall of evil. The devious intent prowled to devour, as the facade dissolved in darkness. In the desolate domain of feral fright, on the murky ground under dreary sky, as the creature of night you crept, stalked the haunted me, I couldn’t hide. A nightrider you slithered from the wild, unmasked, you morphed into a brute. Unsuspecting predator on the hunt, as sinister sly animal of sin you lurked. With arcane acumen of trickster devil, as sordid silhouette of menace you crawled stealthily into the quintessence of my being, sucked the sublime ambrosia of my soul. _______________ September 24, 2022 Contest : One From The Dark Side Sponsored by : John Lawless
