You woke up one night
covered in sweat
you sat up to see what woke you
You think, "There's nothing to fret"

Oh, but there is, sweety
There's something in your room
A little advice, don't close your eyes
or it will bring your most dreadful doom

You go back to sleep, rested but anxious
feeling safe under the sheets
Oh, what did I just tell you, little girl
I'm sorry, but you're not safe from ME.
Sorry, I just wanted to try a horror themed poem. No judgement please.

do you care to walk the darkness of alley
under the pitched moon of soul cries
haunting is wake upon the darkness alley
fearing a tremble to the spine

cold is the winter dark by misty smoke
lingering in the air surrounding dark  
dormant in the still by the lamp post
flickering is the light above the dark alley

by the ghost of poet soul is
circle in the alley by midnight doom
by the gate by dark

Dark Hour

Dark hour
Is risen in fire

Eyes still by flame
Is risen in haunt

Night is crimson
Black is delectable

Ghost by the fire
Risen by the dark

Twined I dance by
Smoke of white aura

Risen is the spirit

In darkness of soul

Dark Hour

Dark Hello

Darkness is dusk
dreaming in shadows of daunting
hello is dark night

Dancing is ghostly
white soul by moon dearest
upon the misty surface

Waves in heavy
dreading of night windy dust
gritty is the cry hello

Dark in tremble
ghostly white is by moon
echoing the hello dark

Seldom in rage
haunting by gate of bay
to reside you dear

I hear the wood creaking
under his steps
His heavy breath
Echoes in the
     long, empty hallway
His whistling
It gets louder
     the pitch gets higher
as he comes closer
The tune
I realize I've heard it before
I've seen him before
A friend.
His eyes, they're always so
happy
Now, the spark is
gone
insanity
madness
It has to be
My heart beats faster
racing
like never before
It's about to jump
I swear he can hear it
The steps
they're closer
so close
Silence.
He's standing at the door,
I know it.
I shiver in hiding
and hear my shallow breath echo
in the darkness
in which I hide
Silence.
he's waiting.
The **** slowly turns
and he creaks the door
open
slowly
Light streams into the room
all I see is
the light
it gets wider, the light
no whistling
no steps
just heavy breathing
and my heart beating
he takes a step

Goodbye.

He lives in the corners of her brains.
Eats away what she doesn't want to know, what he won't let her know
He lives in the corners of her lungs.
Eats away what toxins that are left from the freshness of the air she absorbs, what he wont let her absorb.
He lives in the corners of her soul.
Eats away the cravings and past damages of her life, what he doesn't want her to feel.
Simon is;
What Mary Thinks
What Mary Absorbs
What Mary Feels
My writing based off the movie Session 9. Found on Netflix, only the best psychological thriller I've seen in 2012.

This is a piece, that I wrote being completely astonished sitting in front of the TV after this movie ended.

Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand

Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize your neighborhood

And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down

Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse's shell

The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years

And grisly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom

And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver

For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller*
