My Heart is a Slave

by Chuck (Scorpio) - Not entered



My heart is a slave
to that which is lunar.
My vessels carry the tide.

My darkest fears lie
in the shadows.
Feeding the rage inside.

And ever so often
when the moon is full,
and man becomes as wolf.

The demon comes calling
at a mighty gallop.
He tramples me under hoof.

He knows my strength
lies in honor and trust.
Yet, he deceives me with his lies.

I must make ready
my sword to thrust.
I must prepare to die.

Inside and out,
darkside and light,
I fear the coming tide.

For the battle grows near
as I lie in wait,
Alone, on the dark side.

Reason for writing:

    The pain and desire for revenge 
that inspired me to write this poem 
is long sinsed past.
