My mind is drowning
With thoughts of you
Just sailing through memories
Of long gone beautiful times
We shared
Somewhere down the line.
The sun rises, flowers bloom
Sunset bring a new
Bright full moon
Leave crackle in the wilderness
Were the wolf bane blooms
Brought about by
An evilness of a full moon.
Shapes change
Fangs gleam
Reflecting saliva glistering
Against silvery beams
In the darken gloom
A monster lurks.
A beast has escaped
From within a human’s soul
For he never prayed
Now he must pay
Eternally cursed to seek
His own prey.
William,
A very unique form for this topic. The first verse really gives a sense of 'human', and then you slowly reveal what's coming. Love how you worded the third verse; you gave us quick flashes of imagery, which creates an eerie feeling. This piece comes full circle with a chilling tone. Great!

This poem make me realize what really felt that hunchback of Notre Dame repute going around the gargoyles on the top, in a raining night with mob holding burning torches trying to toast his soul.

Interesting and suspenseful...many images to tear at the mind, a new twist in your writing, but I'd say it's one to cause a reader to enjoy the suspense and the outcome. I liked it!
A different write for you my friend, but you know a talented writer has the ability to write from all views of life, different styles, forms and depth! This one is an excellent portrayal of a dark side that we all have, but many don't expose! Your imagery is powerful allowing the reader to visualize your feelings and emotions! Sounds like you've been doing some deep soul searching...but always remember that tomorrow is a new day, with new beginnings...hope all is okay...you've penned a brilliant piece here!
Blessings from Ky.

This is a walk on the dark side for you...I always thought of D'Artagnan as a romantic figure, this must be his darker side...always good writing, either way William
Going from beautiful memories to the evil that lurks within.
Very soul searching though a little disconcerting.
Now take your heart for a walk in the light leaving the night behind for a while.

Love, light and peace,

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
