Tonight

The hounds growl at the moon's beacon call. The mist rises from the light of the moon.

Thy surroundings creep far beyond the mind's insight. Tonight. The souls lay about.

Seeking the final destination. Thy senses rise, and awareness increases.

Knowing that I am being watched. But nobody to be seen. Fear is present now.

The heart races and the blood begins to flow. Thoughts are transpiring. Thy eyes are configuring shapes that don't exist. Sssshhhhhh. Don't make a sound. Listen to what the wind is saying.

The howls and blows. For the moon pulls the soul into the realm. That takes all but the bone.

Shivers shot through thy spine. The soul starts to run. And the end, nothing seems to be what it is.

Just the dream. Tonight. All have broken the ribbon of time. Everything is nothing. For

Illusion is the giant picture. All have been portrayed as something much more than what

Should exist. Close your eyes. Clinch my heart in my hands. Tonight. I will embrace the

Unseen and know that everything is all that but a wild dream.

You've portrayed fear quite splendidly. The usage of words and the meaning they conveyed, all of them were spot on. This verse gave me a shiver while reading it. Write more mate!

Nice, I like........... The soul starts to run. And the end nothing seems for all is

just the dream.

Another nice poem. Nicely portrayed about Night. You've shown us the terrors that lay awake at night time, as well as the sensation that usually prevails us. Thanks a lot for sharing this one. :)
