The Stealer
Shut fast the blinds and kill the light
The Stealer comes this way tonight
See image shadows
On the wall
Mirrored thoughts
From the Stealer’s Hall
He comes! He comes!
In dead of night
Your heart to steal
Your soul to blight
See the flames of fire that prance
Madly midst the Stealer’s dance
Hear the breath of men grown cold
As fear takes heart from young and old
He comes! He comes!
In dead of night
Your heart to crush
Your soul to blight
Ancient bones ‘round ruined parts
Creeping softly through your hearts
Ruined face and withered eyes
The Stealer comes in dark disguise
He comes! He comes!
In dead of night
Your heart to burn
Your soul to blight
With rotting fume of blighted breath
The Stealer comes, the Lord of death
See his face within your mind
No sleep tonight for human kind
He comes! He comes!
In dead of night
Your heart to stab
Your soul to blight
No deed so fair or crime so vile
Can hide you from the Stealer’s guile
So steel your heart and hold your breath
And wait in fear
For death! For death!
He comes! He comes!
In dead of night
Your heart to kill
Your soul to blight
Heh Heh!!!

Very powerful and ominous! Love the flow of this piece. You've given the famous boogeyman a much needed kick into this decade; a new persona to fear at night. Yet, the Stealer can be feared in the spiritual sense as well as the physical sense. A dark masterpiece:) Love and Hugs,
Sheila
Take care. Sue

When I think of "The Stealer"...I think of the "Steelers"
