In shadows I take hold.

I begin
a chill, tingling
top to bottom.

I transform
embellish my inner devil,
become master
of destinies.

In shadows,
I wait salivating
eyes, on my prize.

I take hold
wicked breath
seeps out of evil lungs.
Intoxicates
as you realise
I am more than an illusion.

    This was an excellent poem, and I remember it well from that contest, I believe I was also in it.

    It goes perfectly with the image! Well done!
