Jo Bien Poet Verse

The Beast

you fed the beast 
and nursed its growth
till it's devouring your spirit,
absorbing your soul

now out of control
it obliterates the night
massive paws sweeping
the stars from your sky

unable to stop the
apocalypse that builds
a tourniquet untwisted
as the truth is revealed

too late to impede, the
demolition goes on
the beast you created
destroying your love
