the man of the night

I fall my body quivering

He looks at me like a demon

His eyes set ablaze

The fear

Spreads through out my body

I know he can sense it

Licking his lips 

He gives me that twisted smile

That no one but him 

Has done before

He heaves against my face

Saliva dripping from his mouth 

I swalow with distaste

As his breath reaks of something

That only has been told in folk tales

My eyes wander towards his clothing

All covered in blood

Surely he must have been harmed

Perhaps he had been attacked by a wolf?

A man of the night

His eyes were droopy

There was no sign of sincerity in the tone of his voice

My mind was asking me questions I knew not of

My heart was pounding loudly against my chest

I closed my eyes and could feel his jaws widening

How was I to know that this 

Man who was once clothed in black and a white 

Was none other

Than the man of the night

The moon struck his curly locks 

It made his teeth glow

Like a firefly 

My heart beat grew rapid

Catching my breath

I could see what his eyes were focused on

His pupils looked like black orbs

Bound to devour me whole

His face pale 

Hands masculine

Something errie about his scent

attracted me in

A creature of the night

My mind puzzled

He leans in for a kiss

His frozen lips touch mine

Did he have no soul?

I figured that surely 

He should have known

You do not court a maiden 

without asking so

What a perpetual beast

He acts like a king

I'm the feast

I dare not say my name

For he might find a way to steal that as well

He finishes with a parting glance

My heart swells 

He walks away from me

Like a detective 

Frrom a crime scene

I care not for the bleeding carcass beside me

The woods have his scent still lingering

For one moment

I wished this nightmare end

But on the other hand

This man I just met

Has this mystery that I wish to solve 

Death is now a journey that awaits me

To be like the man of the night
