The lions are stalking me in the night <br />I see them before sleep overtakes me <br />And they always appear in my nightmares <br />Those monsters, horrid fiends <br />Haunting the dreams of all <br />Their amber eyes watching me with hunger <br />They bare their teeth with a fervent bloodlust <br />And they resound their unholy bellows <br />There is no love of God <br />Within those amber eyes <br />The huge lions are bearing down on me <br />I feel them eating away at my pride <br />By using my own voice to insult me <br />Those demonic creatures <br />Seek to possess my soul <br />As the lions draw closer, I can taste <br />The wretched stench of their breath in my bones <br />And I look to the heavens in sorrow <br />Praying for some release <br />Any chance of freedom <br />With these horrid fiends stalking my nightmares <br />I am haunted by their furious gaze <br />The scars the lions leave behind run deep<br /><br />Nate Flying Owl<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/horrid-fiends/
