LOOK AT ME

poem by: Graham Jenkinson
Written on Feb 12, 2017

Next time you walk at night by the sea
Have a look in see a reflection of me 
The inky black water is where I hide 
Just waiting for you in the evening tide 
Next time you are walking in the cold dark night 
Stare beyond the darkness you may catch a sight
I will be there inside the enveloping dark 
Just waiting for you on the beach, street or park
Next time you awake in your room late at night
It's me stood in the corner giving you a fright
For darkness I am and darker i'll become 
Soon very soon through your fear you'll succumb
I am that nightmare dwelling deep in your brain 
I'm the demon of your mind bringing you pain
I stand in the darkness but you can not see
There so many more just like me 
I am there when the midnight bell's toll
I have walked this earth from centuries old 
Standing in the darkness with a jet black soul 
The night and I have become the same one 
My black soul awakens when the daylight is gone
