The Winter Stalker
A Dispute
A thin layer of snow coated the streets.
I crossed the intersection, acutely aware of the sleets.
Angrily walking after a noisy dispute,
I noticed a dark figure was in pursuit.
Night has fallen, and in the corner of my eye,
Something was hovering nearby.
I veered quickly into an alley,
Awaiting my stalker in attack for a rally.
The valves in my heart thumped irregularly
As adrenaline coursed into my veins impulsively.
I waited and remained waiting for what seemed like a while.
I decided to risk a peak from my exile.
Fear prickled over me to my revelation.
There was not a soul; what a damnation!
Footprints were absent from the snow.
Perhaps I was frightened by my own shadow.
Emotions running high in the heat of an argument,
Indeed, such venom thoughts are quite turbulent.

I am professor Shafiq masters in Mathematics and post graduate,in computer science I teach maths, physics and chemistry. my interpretation is purely based on students' comprehension ability. If the student doesn't understand the subject, I explain with the basics until he understands the topic. Basically maths is a logical subject, if we grasp magic we don't need to worry about maths subject.... Very positive and productive content ♥️♥️
The narrative skillfully builds tension and suspense, leading the reader through a chilling sequence of events. The sudden revelation at the end adds a twist, highlighting the psychological impact of fear and how it can distort perceptions in the heat of the moment. The interplay of emotions and the atmospheric setting contribute to a gripping tale.
Wow, this was wild! You did a wonderful job, creating tense and psychological thriller in this poem. 
Excellent writing - moody and atmospheric. Well done.
Personally, I don't like winter
Inside the story, there is some fear and some romance.

Oooo, this was so creepy! Loved your poem!
I've seen and still see shadows moving around me periodically, and no, they are not my shadows. Maybe one day, they'll tell me who they are and what they want.
