The Beast Within

Listen to poem:

The beast that sleeps within, As he prowls and shadows sin… He bellows with a raging roar, Salivating the gathered gore. The beast hides upon my sleep, Waking wounds touching deep… When alert he stands proud, An Alpha male well endowed. For now, I see a little kitten, Twice shy and once bitten… Thus beauty calms the beast, The fury has been released. ___________________________ June.07.2020 Spirit Animal Sponsored by Dear Heart Placed 1'st...Thank You
