The Terror Hurried

what happens when a man is trapped in darkness with just terror

He found himself in such a dark place,

the color drained from his face,

as quickly as it appeared,

he feared,

that terror multiplies more quickly in the mind,

than in the heart,

his emotions were tapped,

his sanity fell apart,

he looked around frantically,

like an animal, trapped,

he mopped the sweat on his forehead

with the sleeve of his robe,

words were whispered, but nothing was said,

he reached for the door-knob with a sweaty palm,

he felt an odd calm,

the room was filling up with a warm fog,

a beast came in, shaped like a demon,

but croaked like a frog,

his emotions lined the dark room,

he sensed certain doom,

and he knew there would be harm,

as the demon gripped his arm,

preventing his exit,

he worried, and he worried,

as the terror hurried.

Oh, I liked this! So gripping and true. All the stampeding emotions, feeling trapped, sweating in fear. But I loved your description of the beast the most, "shaped like a demon, but croaked like a frog", and then "he sensed certain doom". Excellent read! Gave me chills.

What a great job expressing fear in this wonderful rhyme. I loved this line ..he feared, that terror multiplies more quickly in the mind, than in the heart,..
beautiful job, as always I am truly a fan. :)
