A Storm's Haunting

A poem depicting a phantom that seems to be even more present during a storm.

A Storm’s Haunting

The house was

Pounding

Blinded by the light sky.

 

Fear radiating

Through the walls.

 

*BOOM!*

 

The lights flicker

And the figures

Creep.

A single light

Leads the way.

 

*BOOM!*

*flash*

*CRASH!*

 

The heart races;

What is there to fear?

 

The destination is

Reached.

Is it possible,

There is more fear?

 

The darkness

Destroys the light

Encroaching until

It is absolute.

 

At every glance,

Fear brings himself

In and out of view.

 

Those glowing eyes

And fluorescent smile

Smirk in his insipid

satisfaction.

 

He appears

Every night.

Always when alone;

Vulnerable.

 

The storm forgotten

With only Fear

In its place.
