An open portal, a light shines through
Illuminating the walls, but who
Has opened up, this once locked door
And casts no shadow, upon the floor
No figure leaves its shape or form
Surely, this is not the norm
So I approach the space with care
Afraid, of what I might find there
Footsteps clack, upon the stone
Now I know, for sure, I’m not alone
And yet, there’s no one standing near
I wait, for someone to appear
Hold my breath, try not to blink
What little courage, begins to sink
The light, again, begins to grow
I turn, but there’s no place to go
Only one way out, the door, awaits
It seems, at last, I’ve sealed my fate
The signs, have all been crystal clear here
And now it seems, I’ll disappear here
I had no reason, to enter his tomb
The castle has spoken, my certain doom

I suspect a superfluous ‘here’ has crept onto the end of the third line from the end.

That’s ok!! if you look, you’ll see the last 2 words of those lines, rhyme, so to speak. It’s meant to be redundant 😉
