The beast

The beast lies in wait
it pretends to sleep...
I know that it just might
might creep...
it hides down low
it tickles and pulls the
sinews of panic
and rushes the
nerves to attack
and blood lust
will feed the ache
till then the beast lies in wait...

Just a quick scribble...

Anonymous Beast

Need a few more clues as to the nature of this beast. Is it a fill in the blank beast? Expansion is a virtue, vagueness an indication of more work needed - Lady A

It is your beast. You would

It is your beast. You would know it better than I would. I can not describe it for you. Only for me. :) The beast is more about a possession by an idea or or object or thing that you may have a desire for and try to scheme for.


If its possible, no matter what it always starts with a dream!

Inner Beast Wants Out

Scratches from the inside, pushing at the ribcage,
causes the heart to pause, stop, start again.
The scheme is more beast than notion
demon, not desire or object. The claws
are vampiric aged and newly honed to cut.
No measure of hypnosis or theapy works here
or in nightscapes running rampant as if
four legs push it up the esophagus
to spill from the tongue in blood and gut
lines to make my thoughts pagan
and my goodness evil. - Be well and thanks for the answer
Lady A

perhaps I could change the

perhaps I could change the blood lust line as the Vampiric comericalised age has saturated its meaning a little more on the physical side rather than a longing in your blood... thanks for the review Lady A kind regards. Mav

Change is not alway good

The only thing I'd change is the repetition of the world "might"
just might is intersting too...but the poem is done. I enjoyed it tremendously - Looking forward to reading tons more - Lady A

Oh No!

You gave SS a quickie?
That's not going to shut her up..
It's only fuel to her fire. <3

This is one of those poems as I have said before that you can either add, or take away.
There is an opaque quality around your write to where I cannot wait to read more.
I enjoyed this "quick scribble."
