Haunting

oops
|
Heavy footfalls; thundering,
Echo down the empty hall.
Whispered conversations;
That I can’t make out at all.
A roiling mass of shadow;
Forms just outside my door;
Swirling silently towards me,
Like a mist across the moor.
Within the pitch black shadow,
Two smoldering embers spark and grow,
Into angry eyes that hold me,
Trapped within their fiery glow.
Instantly the air turns frosty,
Filled with oppressive fear.
I’m engulfed by furious feelings,
Of not being wanted here.
Pinned by a heavy, crushing weight,
That steals the breath from me.
Slapped by gaunt, long-fingered hands,
That I can’t seem to see.
All at once it’s over,
And I let out a scream.
Tangled in the sweaty sheets,
It must have been a dream.
Within the now lit bedroom,
There’s no shadow anyplace,
But glancing in the mirror,
I see the handprints on my face.

| i like it. i like how you kept the emotion as well as kept the rhyme. that is a very hard thing to do. emotion always seems to leave the poem when there is a rhyme trying to be held. |
