I can sense you, I know you're there. You don’t have to hide, because I know you're there. Please don’t wait, until I close my eyes. Please don’t wait, because I know your there. You're not defined. You live in darkness. You dwell in the shadow of my fears. Step out of the shadows and form yourself. Step out of the shadows and show yourself.

I feel you. I know you're there. When I close my eyes, I feel you there. You float above me, put your face to my lips. You bask in my breath caressing your darkness. You sweep over every part of me. You cause my body tremble. Your darkness touches my lips. You cause my lips to quiver. You hold down my being as if you own it’s essence. You hold down my being, as if you are it’s essence.

I hear you. I know you're there. When I close my eyes, I hear you there. You whisper words that quicken my heart. You whisper fears that paralyze my consciousness. Your whispers draw me into your darkness. Your whispers magnify my fears. You strengthen your darkness with the sound of my screams. You strengthen your darkness as you saturate my screams.

You make yourself known, when I close my eyes. You encompass my soul, when I close my eyes. Your darkness rules in the shadow of my fears. You come to remind me that I am yours. Your darkness thrives in the shadow of my fears. You come to remind me, that I will always be yours. You make yourself known when I close my eyes. You claim my soul, when I close my eyes.

I am imprisoned by your darkness, when I close my eyes

My only escape is to never...close my eyes.

Show you care, please share!

There is a soundtrack to this poem. As I was listening to Dark Sanctuary "La Reveuse" the words of the poem poured out of me. The vision of the darkened image was so defined and yet so tormenting. If you read this, you must listen to it's soundtrack http://youtu.be/X2h453AIPw4 If you feel you have read this before, well its because you have dear friend. Ahh but Cauchemar could not stay away from the Den any longer....he has come to haunt yet again.

A bit dark. Couldn't find 'Cauchemer' in any dictionary. What does it mean?

Cauchemar is a french word that means - Nightmare. :)

Cauchemar=nightmare. Thank you. That explains the dark feel to the poem. :)

Very dark & gripping, Mad Hatter. There is a magnetic quality to your work as you begin to read. As I've mentioned before, I'm not a huge poetry fan, but I am a fan of your work.

Great written Madhatter :-) I imagine the old hoarse voice that is reading it slowly... it should be very ghostly but I think it should sound fantastic... :-) Good job :P

What a curious picture you paint heartcrusher. I never thought of it like that. I am ecstatic you could see and hear images as you read. I ALWAYS do that. I paint my own picture of the words illuminated before me. Thank you :)
