Dark whispers
Dark whispers lurking, night
Shadows surround me
Cool breeze hits my face
Who’s there?
Sharp tendrils creep around me
Who are you?
What do you want?
Sharp pain, pools of scarlet dripped
It grabbed my soul
It had come to take me away.
The reaper

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
