The Night Has Many Eyes

Fear of being watched by a multiple-eyed creature, like a shoggoth

Night is falling like a curtain,

A dark black velvet curtain,

Over this land.

I have a dark sensation;

A dreadful feeling,

Which I cannot understand,

As though more than two eyes watch me;

And not the eyes of a man.

Eyes that neither wink nor shut;

They only stare without end.

Poem for EerieandEnchanting Monster prompt. Have you ever felt that many eyes watched you? The speaker believes that a multiple-eyed thing like Lovecraft's shoggoths is watching him.
