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
