A battle with myself Against myself In myself. My own worst enemy - A mirror image. Distorted mind ravings. The cost of my desire The flames I use To consume me - higher. Staring into the abyss - Staring back through I nside my soul. Fawned face so innocent Just a wolf under control. The demon inside me Grabs a-hold.. |

Oh, this is beautiful. Plus, the wolf is my favorite animal; always a bonus. Welcome to piptalk. I'm gonna enjoy reading you, I'm certain... ![]() "Is any song worth singing if it doesn't help?" -- Wilco, 'Wishful Thinking' |

I was once told that my mind was my own worst enemy.... I think this poem says much the same thing. Welcome to Passions! |

I think this is good, not as expressionistic as I thought after the first stanza but defintely a good read...the wolf? I still dont understand why..the wolf? but regardless this was still nice...Good job...elevation is the key.

Serena~ Welcome to PiP~ Intriguing ... and I can certainly understand why you would choose the wolf to express yourself so creatively~ Enjoy your stay ... there are many fine and talented poets here~ *Huglets* ![]() ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Nice exploration of the underside of the tapestry. I particularly liked the image of a "wolf under control." :-) Encore! A poem's just a poet in a word. |
