Stalked by an Angel

another one I'm proud of, you think your alone and safe, untill the evil comes, and something always following you that you think is the evil, is the good, just in time to save you.

 

Out into the cool mist of night

For my regular stroll

From doorstep to side walk

It seems I hate this time though

 

Unsure of the night

Sounds that only look of black

I feel as if something follows me

But it is not there

For it I cannot see

 

Fears stir in me

As I reach less populated areas

No witness who can see

Alone I am to be

 

Noises heighten

This thing is around

It mustn’t be there

For only it makes not a sound

 

Chills run as I can feel the eyes

Almost is like a glare

I breathe a deep sigh

Its dark advantage is unfair

 

The silent while is a relief

Me and my silly belief

I laugh and say

“Just my imagination. It’s ok.”

 

Walk a little further

The sounds return

But it was gone!

My thoughts echo unheard

 

Then something runs by

Just a flash of gray sly

Shadows lay steady at me feet

Hardly a house undimmed on the street

 

I hear it again

And turn around to see

Hidden in the trees

Two golden eyes staring back at me

 

These eyes gleam

Shining bright as the moon

Only slits and their golden color beams

I must make it home soon

 

Yet I walk on

Naïve to the world

Any dangers to be close

I will simply ignore

 

Then another flash

I feel fur brush my hand

Soft, warm, and thick

Was this an animal or man?

 

This time I turn around

A low odd shadow in the distance

It runs out of view

I want to go home

 

I take off in jog

Through the thickening fog

But the original shadow creates

A wall to unmistaken

 

It stood I front of me

Slivers of light help me see

It stood there in pride

Meeting me eye to eye

 

Standing two feet tall

And four feet long

Eyes of gold and fur of gray

Teeth so fierce and claws of prey

 

It tilted its head

And let a howl

It split the darkness and the air

Light shone

To the evils it was a dare

 

It runs off when I dash out

What was that thing? I think

Is it after me?

Am I going to die?

 

Not nearly back from where I came

The fears of this reality all the same

Only I’m really to blame

For being here and now in this game

 

I hit hard on something large

And to the ground I fell

I looked to see what with I collided

It looked like a demon straight out of hell

 

It grabbed my collar

And I gave a silent holler

He raised me up

As like I was only a pup

 

I was pale with mortal terror

It raised a fist and struck me once

Directly upon my leg

Pains began to spread

He had an aura of his rage

 

He slammed me down

To a concrete ground

Stomped a colossal foot

The ground almost shook

 

He reached around into his pocket

His eyes darkened in their socket

He brought out his weapon of choice

Something that made me lose my voice

 

I cower and tremble

As this demons strength assembles

His finger lie on the trigger

Time never seemed so prolonged

 

He aimed his way

I had a final pray

Please God!

Don’t let it end this way!

 

Then as its answer

It arrived very quick

Cured of this seeming cancer

I was the first pick

 

A creature leapt out

I recognized it from before

The one who followed me down

The golden eyed one

Who was behind me from first step out the door

 

It was a wolf so proud and brave

He jumped to chest high

Hitting that devil so hard to take his breath enslave

Taking him down with his eyes to the sky

 

The wolf tore down and left him hurt

He was motionless by the assert

Then my attacker lay back vanquished

There I may have another life banquet

 

His body frayed in red flames

Back to hell he went

The wolf looked to me and bowed

I knew he was God sent

 

I was saved my this dog

Thin unheathen one from away

Appeared so mysteriously

Yet in time to find me

 

It howled once more and galloped off

To a forgiving dark time

Away away away it left

It was so late of prime

 

But I swear to you

As my friend the wolf bid farewell

I saw his wings become resilient

And a halo sounds of a bell

 

He flew off

Back from which he came

He disappeared among the clouds

But never came back down

 

I rushed home

But a lass

Would never forget what happened

For all the things I’ve ever done

I’ve still been forgiven

 

Safe at last and never again

Will I walk alone at night

I see life anew now

I was stalked by an angel

i loved this poem. you told a story with a deeper meaning. for the stalker in the begining of the poem be your savior is ironic but not impopssible. I love the moral in this story. this was a great write.

also it sounds like this happened to you not really a wolf saving you form death but there was someone in your life that symbols the wolf when you were in need of saving.

Very well written story, you took me through a saga of events as you walked alone and felt the terror.

Thanks for your entry in my contest and Good luck to you.
