Nightfall Poem by Justin Reamer

Nightfall has come upon us,
Like a dark sheet or a curtain,
She has covered over us,
Then we know for certain.

The night bestows upon us,
And the criminals come out,
Ready to strike,
We watch where we are going,
To beware of Hitler's Third Reich.

There is much to beware,
For you never know that evil stare.
He may be staring at you,
Wishing you to be true,
Knowing you are part of his crew.

Beware of the monster in the night,
That wishes you all harm,
Beware of how he ponders,
He makes you feel alarmed.

He stalks the night,
Ready to eat,
Hungry for what he smells,
He knows your fright,
Knows your meat,
Knows everything you dwell.

He is a stalker,
Who knows your very scent,
He is your walker,
Knowing everything you spent.

Beware of him,
He knows your secrets,
He knows each rumour that is true;
He knows what to use
To kill you,
Consume you down,
Until you're black and blue.

He comes out at nightfall,
Knowing what you do,
He knows what is right and wrong,
For he can detect your sin.

Do not be foolish
When you see him
Because he is no fool,
He is good-looking,
Dracula-like
And no easy tool.

Beware of the monster that walks in the night,
For he gives you such a fright.
He's merciless without a cause,
And knows when you shall pause.

Close your windows every night,
Lock all of your doors,
Close your bedroom windows,
And close your every drawer.

He knows every house,
And he knows which he prefers,
You know not what to look for,
If he ever concurs.

Present darkness,
Endless strife,
He steals your soul,
Taking out your life.

Beware of him,
He is no fool,
He is merciless,
And no doubt cruel.

Make your conscience clear,
And you need not fear,
For he consumes sinners,
That have voices in their ear.

Those of you with good souls,
You need not fear him,
He's afraid of you,
On nature's wildest whim.
