Like the knight of sleeping beauty, <br />He slash through my heart. <br />Tearing down my courage, <br />Shattering my resolve like a wine Glass. <br /> <br />He has stolen upon me in the Dead of the night, <br />With the darkness as his shield. <br />I look and wonder. <br />What brings my heart to my lips? <br />What shivers my spines? <br /> <br />I peer and peer, think and think. <br />Yet, i see not his face. <br />I try to fight, but my strength fails. <br />Almost defeated, i am, <br />For he is the meanest of his kind. <br /> <br />Show me thy face o slayer? <br />Nay he says, 'for you cannot know me'. <br />I am the dark that looms in every man. <br />I rise to conquer when my brother Failure, <br />Stares mortal in the face. <br />Dare not seek me for i am invisible. <br /> <br />You will ponder dawn till dawn On me. <br />I am a conqueror vanquished only By faith. <br />And till knowledge breaks upon You, <br />I will hold you in chains. <br />Know me now? <br />I am fear of the unknown.<br /><br />Melody Kuku<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fear-of-the-unknown-5/
