Nightscape

Darkens

Mysterious night
Melodies of darkness
Clock moves
Ticking, Ticking, Ticking
Time moves irrational
Deepens darkness
Silhouettes on move
Children of night
Howling and cries
Echoes and fades
Restless mind
Pumping heart
Violent touch
Lit a lantern
Smokes are straight
Climbing roof
Lizards on move
Spiders chasing prey
Screeching sound
Windows shut
Doors are locked
Trembling
Fear is a rope
Magical spell
Vampires are alive
Searching for blood
Safe inside meat
Flowing like rivers
Unending veins
Body looks freezed
Sitting inside freezer
Blood is iced
Eyes are closed
Air is heavy
Thick as rock
River of sweat
Soaks bed
Nightmares are built
Upon fearful tower
Where is Freud
Sigmund Freud
Doors are locked
Sun rises
Colourful world
Doors are unlocked
Opened wide
Vampires are vanished
Darkness are rolled behind
To close doors
For next Sunset.

This talks more about hope for another sunset after a dreadful night.
This talks endurance and hope

Thank you for your nice review

[DIVYA]

This poem makes me think of so many dark things, starvation, violence and terror, among many. Darkness nurtures evil and closed doors often spawn it. A great poem, Arun. Lots of raw imagery.
