The teeth are out tonight
Just be motionless and quiet
The eyes are on the prowl
Making fearful sorts of sounds
But I learned early life is scary
Everything out to get me
Don’t disturb the silence
And stay oh so still
I learned early no one knows me
Everyone is cold and lonely
Don’t disturb the balance
Just stay oh so still
The mob is out tonight
Just be motionless and quiet
With torches held as swords
It’s a vicious little world
I learned early life is scary
There are secrets you should bury
Don’t leave any footprints
And be oh so still
I learned early life is scary
This disguise is necessary
Never let them see you
And be oh so still
But maybe just maybe
If I don’t move a muscle
The eyes will not see me
The teeth will not bite
And maybe just maybe
If nothing can find me
My silence will save me
And I will survive

I recognise this landscape! Chillingly done
Thank you for posting. What do you think of it?
It’s the kindest thing I could find lately lol
I can definitely understand that.
Do you know I always think of you
Every moment of the day
Do you know that I pray you do
Smile of me when you think of May
I love how he calls me ma’am
And love to think of him holding my hand
The way his handsome eyes speak to me
Across the room with a sparkle in his eye
I hope you know you’re on my mind
Without a doubt
All the time
I wonder what you’re doing now
You know I love you more every day
This is definitely worth it all
Worth every bit of everything
I don’t doubt his love
Even if I was locked up
This is definitely enough
To absolutely know that he still loves
So I say a prayer tonight
That you know these without a doubt
That I don’t for even a moment forget
And my love for you will never ever ever run out
Oops…*Smile for me
Hi vampire weather,
I think this poem is extraordinary. fear can paralyze people, so survive yes…but perhaps not really living. I hope you’ve had a great weekend VW

Thank you, Nikki! Indeed, fear is a strong, and usually negative motivating force. It is sometimes the only true enemy
Schön und aussergewöhnlich ja die Angst kann einen lähmen.Grüsse und wünsche dir eine gute Woche lieber Gruss Gislinde.http://zitroneblog.wordpress.com
Thank you very much, my friend! Have a wonderful week!
Great poem VW. I’m realizing that I should click back into the earlier writings for more good poetry. You’ve written a lot!
Lol I have written a lot. I wish I could say I have more quality than quantity! Thank you very much, Scott!
Hide behind the silence
Let it be a cloak
Inwardly warm
Outside forged of scorn
Keep quiet
Shhhhh
If you tell yourself
That you are not there
Then maybe they’ll believe
And stop the burning stares

Yes, you captured the moment 🙂 thanks!
Besides this being another stellar poem, I noticed that in the last two stanzas you pick up the pace (the lines are a little shorter, but the meter remains true) which matches perfectly your hope that you will survive – at the end of the poem. I do wish you that hope,VW, and freedom from fear!! We can all relate to this at times.
Your poetry is so incredible, and this is another that made me just say “Wow!”
It is such a joy to have such thoughtful comments waiting for me here. You always make me feel special 🙂
Just landed here… very nice space you have here.. love the poetry 🙂
I am very glad you landed here! I hope you choose to stay 🙂
I hope you survive! You’re very talented!
Thank you, hook! I’m glad you stopped in!
This is such a stirring poem … that silence and solitude are both, a refuge and prison. Thanks as always for sharing VW wonderful work!
Thank you for seeing beauty in it!
reminds me of “twilight”…nice poem 🙂
Well, that is a nice compliment. Thank you so much!
VERY VERY TALENTED ——YOU SHOULD PUBLISH —————- IF NOT ALREADY – !!!!!! MUCH LOVE XXCAT
Thank you, Cat. That is an interesting thought 🙂
How, oh, how, did you climb inside my psyche and voice so well what I could not. Thank you. This one gave me chills, VW. Intense. Deep. Human. Love it and you 🙂 At last, someone understands what I am going through right now. Thank you again.
A comment like this is worth a whole year of blogging. Thank you, Aurora. I am so thankful to know your thoughts
if you feel true fear its devastating you freeze and die a little inside xxjen
Thank you Jenny, you are very right 🙂
What a brilliant out thinking-outside-the-box opening. This has the trademark Vampire Weather handling of repetition and musicality. Excellent!!!
Thank you kindly!
