Month: August 2023

∴

in shadows deep, a creature lies in wait,

on forest’s edge, its hunger unabated,

its eyes ablaze, with appetite elated,

for scrumptious souls, it longs to satiate.

·

beyond the trees, a village teems with life,

heartbroken dreams amidst its bustling throng,

unaware of lurking danger, they belong,

to fate’s caprice, where peril’s cut like a knife.

·

yet with the moon’s eclipse, the creature roams,

a spectral wraith, its form concealed, departs,

through silent steps, in shadows, it embarks,

each breath it takes, a shiver in your bones
