I see their deep penetrating yellow eyes flash at me
I see their white fangs dazzle
I see their black crisp wings slightly flap

In the shadows they're waiting
I hear their red hearts beating fiercely
I hear their thoughts screaming
I hear their lucious lips smacking...to taste me

From the shadows their hiding
I feel them hover above my shoulders
I feel their stenchful breath upon my cheeks
I feel their corse hair stroke upon my arms

Through the shadows their watching
There are only a few streetlights to shine their holiness in this empty place
And only garbage rustles in the gutters
The wind howls a frightful cry
The moon hides behind the clouds
And suddenly...
When all the shop windows draw their blinds and close their eyes

THEY grab me
THEY torture me
THEY pierce me
THEY kill me

Their breath is of sewer rats and carcasses
Their touch is of scaley fingers and prickly blood dripping nails
Their cries are of childrens nightmares and electricution chairs

But when I open my eyes from the chilling fear...
And look at the shadows
I realize...that there is nothing there
Only my fear
And that
THEY are in my head... [comments] => 5 [counter] => 194 [topic] => 13 [informant] => Alina [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

needs to not be so repetetive and have the verses more than just simple statements. poetry isnt reading off a list of statements, poetry is more than that. your concept is fine, but, needs work on being better illustrated.

Very Bone-chilling write. Good job.

Well, your descriptions were very vivid....yikes! I especially liked this line:
And only garbage rustles in the gutters
I thought that was a great line in with all the others. the flow was a little off in some spots but overall I think it was a pretty good write.
