Scared To Death

The grass is standing still…

Still remains the tall windmill…

As if awaiting something…



In me, fear is beginning to fill…

Down my feet flutter with a chewing chill…

As I walk towards the hill



It is late after dusk,

I espy the clouds as a face and a tusk…

And as I am standing, I smell violet and musk,

In the chilling air, about to kill…



My destination is that hut on the hill,

And dicey is the journey I am deliberating…



The mystery and the eeriness,

Of this macabre strange place,

And my loneliness,

And in the hut, nay a lantern or a blaze,

Hath eaten me alive on my way…



I am trembling,

Watching the clouds sometimes,

And looking behind most of the times…

All I hear is dry leaves rustling…

Nay a soul in my way…



I should turn back, I feel…

As I cannot stand this thrill…

I am really scared…

As I don’t know what’s next in my way…
