"Who's there?"

Disintegrating into the shore
And the wind is never seen anymore
Waves tell you it's coming
Branches sing by humming

Tubes start by haunting
And mimic a wolfs howling
Slamming shutters peak your attention
But the sounds of voices you won't mention

The wind knows you're alone
Slipping through doors by a moan
You are aware
"Who's there?"

You ask the question in fear
An answer you don't want to hear
Convinced it's the wind
But still your heart races within

You start to talk to yourself
While returning the book to the shelf
"Did I lock the door?"
Overwhelmed of being unsure

You try to leave the room
Suction traps you like a tomb
But you remember the windows are closed
Now your breath is froze

You shake the door to death
"LET ME OUT OF HERE!!"with one breath
Suddenly the lights go out
And a stale smell about

You jump on the bed and lay stiff
A strange feeling you're starting to lift
The door opens and your heart begins to race
Shocked as you recognize your own face

"Who's there?" is a take off of a poem I did in OPEN#7
Called…The Grim-Reaper


________________________________
The Grim-Reaper

The Grim-Reaper walks these halls
Luring quitters with his calls
Unsuspecting arrivals with no choice
Smell the staleness of his voice

His castle becomes your home
Unaware that you're there to roam
Walking in limbo you catch a whiff
Enter a room to see yourself lying-in stiff

Who's afraid of the dark?
Not me as I touch the candle to the spark.

I love this! It's so gothic. Really scary stuff. I'm a great fan of dopplegänger, reflections and similar. I hope there are more where that one came from!
