There's something nameless in the night
that shapes nightmare from my dream
it shreds my soul, takes trust from sight
I have no mouth, but I must scream
there's something obscene, within the dark
that calls me to embrace and make an end
it pierces peace, tears me apart
asks me, to call, this darkness friend
there's something hidden in the night
that slithers across the floor
it rends, is rank, takes great delight
in plague spreading, of its spore
there's something fearful in the dark
no name has it… but terror stark






"It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures;
but it is the loss that shapes the image,
gathers the flowers weaves the garland."-

This is fabulously written...

Regards O Kethry,
Sudhir....

P.S. here is what followed....
----------
Shadowless shadows dance in frightful flight
Looming long beckoning victims of the night
Cryptic forms of words in hapless shape-shifts
Causing imbalanced moments as darkness lifts
Irrational yet rational, perturbing yet unperturbed
Moving yet stilled, disturbing yet undisturbed.

A nameless something, an unsighted scene!

makes me feel guilty for sleeping through the night.  This is well written.  It makes me wonder if the night is yet more mysterious than I currently imagine!  Well done
