nyctophobia

Nyctophobia is a poem that entails the fears that the night can evoke. Semi-autobiographical - I am too afraid of what darkness may hold.

N y c t o p h o b i a ; 

2 a.m

It's silent, yet there seems to be some ambience in the air

The darkness contains such ambiguity

as to what may be hidden in the cracks of the walls.

3 a.m

Is it my mind evoking these daemons? 

The ones hidden under the bed,

grasping at your feet in the night.

The sound of the wind's voice, the croaking of the floorboards.
