This is my forty-second dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena.
The music I have chosen is the eponymous instrumental by Gordon Giltrap.

What Is Waiting In The Shadows?
Stood At The Dark End Of This Street
Your Dark, Dark Thoughts Make Your Fear Grow
Your Fear Is Turning To Sheer Fright
π€ππ€
Is There A Blade In Its Dark Hand
To Cut Your Frail Flesh, Make You Bleed
Stain The Street Red, Your Blood Now Damned
It Flays Your Flesh, To Sate Its Greed
π€ππ€
It Wants Your Blood, It Wants Your Pain
Stabs And Cuts Again And Again
There Is No One To Help You Here
On The Ground Pooled In Blood And Fear
π€ππ€
The Creature Finishes Feeding
Leaves Your Corpse, Murdered, Bleeding

FiveβOne Grounding
FiveβLocked in a perpetual battle against my failing senses and reason, I fight to survive, to get through; I am afraid of... nothingandeverythingallatonceβ...βmy mouth is dry, and my muscles seize up... what can I see? I can see the birdcage and birds; I can see the watercolour my beautiful wife painted many years ago and unlocked her journey into art; I can see the empty mug of tea as it sits perilously on the arm of the sofa; how many is that now? Three down, two to go; I can also see a jackdaw on the roof of our neighbour's house across the road and a bookcase of potentialβFive things you can see.
