Surrender to the darkened night

blow out your candle-

far to bright to see

the shadow demons

in the corners and the stairway

those that pull your nightgown,

blow your hair.



Surrender to the darkness

for the tingling goose bumped flesh-

that screams "something is amiss!"

and makes your breath catch in your throat

clutching banisters

and wishing for your bed.



Surrender to the dark

and running quickly-

in time with your

rapid beating heart

to leap into your solice

covers thrown over your head

to ponder one more night that lasts forever.
