Fiona Callaghan Poet Rhyme

The Beast In Me

The Beast in Me

The awakened beast in me comes stealthily, creeping 
While the rest of the household remain soundly sleeping
Dark, yet vibrant eyes emit a bitter glow
Ignoring my impassioned pleas to just go!

And so begins its nightly torturous game
Of whispering quietly my name in blame
No-one else is ever around to see
This vicious demon residing in me 

Oh the beast in me are you not done
I only wish to see to the sun
Refreshed, renewed, alert, wide awake
This I implore for my poor hearts sake

The beast in me I intend to slay
Come on now fiend you've had your play
But no your fun has only just begun
Tonight I fear you’re in for the long run

The awakened beast in me it comes creeping
Tomorrow I will arise tired, softly weeping

I really enjoy poem's with depth that cause me to 'think' and you have penned a terrific piece that evokes an honesty of self that I really admire.:-) It is a pleasure to read such insightful poetry :-) blessings, lynn
