Literature Text

I am the one that wanders through dark
The creature that makes you feel a little strange
The one who strolls at night in dead parks
When you're sensing the atmosphere change

Fear me, for I am one with the night
You can't escape, I'll follow you everywhere
Not to fear me wouldn't be right
Don't forget that I'll always be somewhere near
Fear me, fear me, I'm one with the night

I'm the worst of your phobias, at dusk I crawl
I observe you, watch you go frantic, obsessive
Spying on every twilight, hiding under the wall
Through your fears every shadow is now oppressive

When you're sitting, surrounded by midnight
I'm all the sounds you suddenly hear behind
I can disapear before you even turn on the light
But you still know the footsteps your hear are mine

Remember when you watched horror movies the night before
I'm the strange being who cowardly haunted your nightmares
Even if you quicken up your pace, even if you try to close the door
I'll still be the phantom you tought you saw when you woke up gasping for air

Fear me, for I am one with the night
You can't escape, I'll follow you everywhere
Not to fear me wouldn't be right
Don't forget that I'll always be somewhere near
Fear me, fear me, I'm one with the night

I'll hunt you down, track your every movement with my amber eyes
Don't worry, my last endeavour will be to make sure no one hear your cries
My submission the the "Inspirations" contest

It took me a long time to decide what I was going to do. I tried, and tried again, and I could not figure out what to submit. I ended up with that poem. I worked a lot on it. I don't think I'll win, but it wouldn't be right not to try.

Title: One with the night
Category: Litterature (Poetry)

Inspiration
Theme: Music
Group: Iron Maiden
Song: Fear of the Dark

I was listening to that song and I noticed it was sung from the victim's (kind of) point of view. I wondered what it would give if it was the hunter who sang it. The "dark", "evil" presence that's talked about all along the song. I did my best!

*bows* A good poem that is musical to my ears. The only thing about it with me is not anything you can change...I am not afraid of anything...and don't try me at this. You won't win my friends have tried for years.
