I Am Monster Spoken Word Poem

I am monster the Osiris of lost souls lurking in the moonlit shadows I am Frankenstein unbound among hungry crows and grackles I creep over the scared ground of good and evil... Where lies my monster bride? I am kneeling and wailing for her to complete and release me from these shackles and chains of this hellish Gothic pain and sorrow to offer me absolution from the atrocities of the flesh I have committed... I am the fiendish brute who grows fangs and hair when the almanac forecasts a full moon and the sky is crying meteor showers among random bolts of lightning I howl and shriek in terror I am mortal seeking to become immortal gazing in the mirror I behold a monster... Much like Frankenstein If I can't be beautiful I wish to be invisible I can only be saved by the love of a beautiful woman I burn to be inside of her to find her by a sun baked moonstone to save me from this cursed life that I have lived from alpha to omega... I am Adam reanimated seeking Eve fleeing inescapable horror as if it were life itself longing to avoid being impaled by the wooden stake of loneliness I fear I am becoming a fallen angel living in the night of the dark soul my pendulum swings towards you my cherubim lover for I have love in me like none has ever seen... My love remember this when I find you and see you I will come after you like a hurricane and even though I am among the undead I will not stop loving you until at last the earth quakes and mountains rise from the sea shaking the very ground you walk on.. ~ ~ ~

Ken This was a very creative and darkly romantic write. It kept me in suspense and intrigued from beginning to end. A unique love tale for the "monster" side of romance. Nice job Thanks for the great comment on my Bully poem.

I must say......I like this darker side of your writing. Dark...yet it leans towards the light.....waiting for salvation from self......in the dawning of love. Beautiful, Ken......Very beautiful, Indeed.
