A trick of the light?

 


Did you awaken

from a dream

and find nothing

was as it seemed?

A nightmare

more vivid than before.

A scream echoing,

bouncing from the walls.

You cover your ears

before you realise

that scream its yours.

 

Feeling your throat pulled taut,

a knot in your stomach,

as sweat pours

and your heartbeat stutters

then starts to soar.

You know what you saw...

That was no dream,

of this you are sure.

There was a figure looming

at the bedroom door,

a bellowing roar booming

through every brick,

crumbling dust

upon the carpeted floor.

 

He was there. Right there.

You look around yourself in panic,

A healthy dose of fear.

You could see his breath in the air,

You can feel

the cold frightened atmosphere.

So where has he gone?

Your eyes dart around,

like creeping insects scattering

from feet that pound.

You listen intently to every sound,

just trying to discern

that terrifying growl.

 

Where did he go,

He was there, then blip.

He vanished into the air,

soundless, menacing.

The atoms spin with electricity.

Is it just your mind playing tricks

over your sleepy eyes?

Was he a figment of a tired brain,

or reflections of the moonlit rain?

Then how come you can still smell

that pungent scent

lingering in the air,

and feel the presence

standing right there?
