Spirit of night
no one else sees
patiently waits
for darkness to be.
Cleverly hiding
in shadows nearby
as stale humid air
feels muggy yet dry.
Demon of evil
as I can foretell
came from the pits
of damnation's Hell.
I know when you linger
I feel you
anxiously waiting
as I am too.
And as my eyes close
I sense your delight
preparing for war
in the midst of the night.
With cowardly ways
you fight unfair
only to strike
when my mind's unaware.
The strength of your touch
takes my breath from me
as you attack fast
and forcefully.
I've seen you growl
I've heard you hiss
felt the strong force
of your deadly kis
Ive looked in your eyes
black as coal
stood face to face
and fought for my soul.
I've come to know you
as you well know me
yes, this nightly battle
no one else sees.

Nightmares. The demons come out at night and wreak their havoc . By first light they are gone. Monsters in the head. Nicely penned teardrop.
