The Beast
by Juliet Waldron → (All Poetry by Juliet Waldron)
   Rated "G" by the Author.

Love is rarely a gentle bunny rabbit. More like the Python version.


We do not dare
disturb the
Sleeping Beast
called Love.
It is all too dangerous.

"These things happen,"
we say,
stumbling away from the
visibly dissolving ex—
"The whole thing
wasn’t very healthy
anyhow.
No future in it."

Yet even in denial
we know
the monster in us,
a beast in a deep
cold lake, threatening
to rise and change
every circumstance.

Love can be an eternal whirlwind filled with so many uncertainties, ups and downs, beautiful writing...

Be always safe,

Juliet,
As Gene says you captured the beast beautifully...the Loch Ness monster of love "...in a deep and cold lake,"
Very fine indeed.

The beast of love...I prefer to think of it as more a friendly giant, who sometimes plods accidently into things but has a kind heart overall.
