Array ( [sid] => 125238 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Creeper [time] => 2006-09-02 21:25:18 [hometext] => Warning - This is a very disturbing write. You may be sickned, horrified and made upset from the content within. This is a reflective poem on something that happened to me, but told in a metaphorical way, in a child like perspective using fear. [bodytext] => The light is slowly consumed by darkness
As the sun rests beneath the shrouded hills
The light retreats; I am left abandoned
A sole pitiful figure in a void
My only company a near death torch
And a worn bicycle; swallowed by soil
The hands on my watch had been paralysed
By the cold desperate gloom engulfing
I was stillborn; ice in malevolent mud
The wind whispered deceit brash in the night
It told me they would arrive; my solace
For certainty can bring comfort, and vice

The sky began to cry, tears descending
Exploding on my shirtless bare body
The debris slowly trickling down my back
I watched as missiles of light tumbled down
Casting shadows amongst trees around me
Revealing the figure of the creature
That visited me every stormy night
I saw its deep yellow eyes cast a glare
And felt it’s obsession for my being
Its glare craved my body, skin and my flesh
I saw its purple tongue snake between lips
Exposing rows of sharp yellow stained teeth

Slowly between flashes I saw it move
Closer and closer; I could feel its breath
I could see the matted texture of skin
Oily jet black; yet oddly lizard like
I could smell the peculiar odour
I could hear the gasping for precious breath
I could taste a leather tongue near my mouth
Its eyes seemed so soulless, so determined
I felt its claws scrape slowly on my back
Leaving faint red train tracks heading downwards
An electric eel rushed fast up my back
As the pain slowly revelled in my head

It made these strange clicking sounds with its mouth
It eyes left me anesthetised with fear
As it slowly pushed me onto my back
The ground below trying to consume me
I felt its claws creep towards my navel
Drawing stencil lines of dark crimson ink
I felt its hand grip tightly on my jeans
It slowly tore them off, leaving me bare
Its wet purple tongue snaked for one last time
Slowly its claws penetrated my chest
And held my cold beating heart so firmly
Mercury drops formed in my eyes; my pain

I watched as it played with my beating heart
Its claws, hand, arm pushing into my chest
I tried to cry, but only a whimper
My voice box overpowered with cold fright
My only comfort, the consoling eyes
That would not leave my own for a second
I could only shut my eyes closed and wait
As the creature explored my bare body
I lay still violated by its touch
Lost eternity wrapped around us both
As he ripped my dying organs to shreds
Painting my body with crimson red paint

Eventually eternity did pass
The creature finally lost interest
And slinked away from my lifeless body
The air rushed suddenly back to my lungs
And I rose up; damage had been undone
Behind me I heard the rustle of clothes
I heard the warm breathe of humanity
I slowly closed my eyes and drank my blood
From where I had bitten down on my tongue
The wind whispered gently; the rain had stopped

I felt human skin on my bare shoulder
A cold blue eye winked; and I was alone
Left with my life, my clothes, my torch, my bike
Next week would be the same, same time, same place
He would come for me, and no-one could help
Now my worries were quietly repressed
I put on my clothes, and picked up my bike
I was late for school again.

The Creeper

I usually don't like reading long poems but
I really was interested in how this one was
to turn out. It was quite engulfing and since
you've stated this was a metaphor for some
true event I can only hope you've been able
to deal succesfully with it. Solid writing.
Truly , Doug
