P A R A N O I A

When silence creeps
into the senses
Comes the violent
waves of desolation

The vociferous
slightest rustle
& the crescending
throbs of your heart

Shadows begins to
animate peculiar
Slithering to where
the moonlight climbs  
Roaming in the noir

The mind begins to wander
feeding on terror
Your familiar silhouette
becomes inimical
Its will against yours
Sheltered in the dark
Scheming in the gloom
A trivial crackle
in the silence
The terror to think
it might be
The legion of shadows
is in motion
to bring harm unto you

Voices in your head shouts
ESCAPE, Just your Imagination,
Run, Don't be afraid
MURDER, PRAY...

A sudden firm grapple
on your heart, tenacious
You struggle for air
Gasping for life
The mind vision death
