He is so clever this beast of mine a master of illusion and deceit He slyly changes his appearance to suit the task he wishes to complete ~~ He leaves his dark and dank hole to catch you when you're weak Lurking, slinking, stalking you relentlessly pursuing a destiny he seeks ~~ He journeys slowly through your head searching each shadowy nook Hunting, seeking for a chink in your armor a place you don't want him to look ~~ This clever beast is on a mission never willingly will he give up the game Always seeking the vulnerability within you creating a breeding place, feeding the flame ~~ When turmoil enters into your life that sly beast is awaken from his sleep And the moment your defense is down he slinks in planning his next leap ~~ When the beast rears his ugly head smugly feeling that he is in control Tap into that place deep inside you and once again take back your soul
"Brrrrrrrrrr.";) Carole, you have described the beast that is in
me. . .er, I mean us. . .too well. Rhyme in your hands deliciously effective. Encore!! 'Pea' <3
So that's the diabolical killer that comes out of nowhere and does away with philandering hubby. On theme with a rhyming scheme. Will try to steer clear of her dark side.
Amen. Very well said, indeed, Carole. Love your stuff.

Ah, yes, that place deep inside you, but alas and drat, sometimes that old inner beast has already defiled that special place and we have to seek shelter elsewhere. Good poem and I know whereof you speak.
So true!

Thank you for having the courage to write and post this one--
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :(
Outstanding poetic composition. "My Inner Beast" flows from Erato's
fountain to Minerva's lake, singing the mysteries of the mind.
I have enjoyed the reading of "My Inner Beast", and am enriched with this treasure of American Fine Letters.
I salute You, Poet!
