The Beast I’ve fallen prey to the beast once again. I fear this time I may die. I tried to stay away from its unholy sin And far from its deceptive lie. But it reared up, showed its fangs And took aim straight for my heart. Its power can drive a madman sane Or rip a sane man apart. Further and further it sunk its teeth in, Seems it will never let me go. I think this pain will never end, No mercy will it show. It threw me into its dark pit of light. Down, down, down I fall Though I see I have no sight It will be the end of us all. I cried out to He who has all answers, ‘What ever shall I do?’ I would trade it for a thousand cancers. Of this beast I wish I never knew. Then a voice said, “Child, your tormentor is not a beast, You are looking at it all too wrong. It is something of which you should feast For it is much more beautiful than a song. You say this time you may die. Don’t worry this 'beast' won’t kill. It’s truly the Law we hold most high It is Love, Love under Will.” jlocke [This message has been edited by jlocke (edited 09-10-2000).] |

JLocke~ Welcome to the wonderful family of Passions In Poetry. Seems a 'beastly' struggle you've known.  Interesting ! Hope we'll see more from you. Enjoy the reading of the many fine poets here. You will find much to inspire your pen. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

jlocke, Welcome to the Passions family!! Wonderful first post. You have a talent for descriptions . . . very good. I enjoyed this one. Nice ending. Looking forward to more from you soon. Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |
