" Nightfall... "

Nightfall comes with trepidation
Darkness wrought with cold predation
Feelings turn to dread and fearing
Rational thought is disappearing

Sounds occur without discretion
Each one coming in succession
Boards start creaking in the floor
Driving thoughts of pending horror

Security of one’s own household
Vanishing as all becomes cold
Even chill bumps on each arm
Foretell of future pain and harm

Mind consumed with egomania
Heart too cold for one to touch
Cries for power in its extremity
Giving little…demanding much?

Emotions fueled by cruel hatred
Dismissing all who don’t agree
Author of annihilation
…Death to those who try to flee.

Darkened soul that can’t be woken
Shunned by light is evil’s door
Last name bears the curse of memory
…Monster then and forever more.

Mind and body out of sync
Eyes that stare and cannot blink
Frozen in a state of fright
Captive of this darkened night

Time…the only remaining friend
Journey is on till this night’s end
Minutes counted…one by one
…Till the rising of the sun.
