Stalkers

By Kainen

Emerging out of nowhere,

Like an unexpected plague

Deadly men come unannounced,

And all I can do is stare

*

I see them coming; ominous and grey,

I see them forming; danger all around

Like creeping vines, they pull you in,

Covering their captives as if to play

*

Nothing stops them,

Nothing will

Shades of color dance around,

Black, red, black, or nothing at all

*

Never missing a soul,

Guns. . .eyes. . .go through the town

Silent killers they are,

Unleashed to fulfill their nasty goal

*

Soon they reach me, with a whisper in my ear,

Triumph lines their very tongues

Cold, heartless, cruel; I am surrounded,

Within the haze, the fog, I disappear
