Monsters in the Night, Part I

Another original poem for you to enjoy!

The periphery is flecked

With colors bright

Ahead lies only darkness

And monsters in the night



Behind me I hear laughter

And weeping, sometimes, too

Ahead is nothing

A thick blanket

Covering all thought

All vision



All my screams

Are eaten by the Void

And nothing

No one

Recognizes the path down which I tread

The path down which we all tread



As time goes on (for I think it must)

The sounds behind me fade

I'm left with just my memories

"Shadows of a shade"



I lie there, float there

My mind makes demons true

For with no way to anchor my id

I've lost hold of the other two



Fangs!

        And tongues

    And teeth

                     And snaps

Tease my curled back



But these I take with ease

I know that soon my wicked past

will turn this night to hell
