The Beast Within

The girl of my dreams I met one night Her beauty captured This Highland Knight Its been a month And i am so absorbed To be with her On natures orb Then one night As we lay in bed A strange feeling Runs through my head The previous night She stayed out late Not getting home As i lie awake A pattern showed On various nights She never came home Until near light In wanting to know One darkened night In following her Keeping out of site Clearing ahead Brightened sky Was that a howl Or a dogs cry Shrubbery clearing As my eyes did see The girl of my dreams Standing over me Her white nightdress Blackened and stained Droplets of red Unexplained I reach out to touch As she pulls away Her body changing In every way Her long golden hair Now grainy Gray Her looks resembling In a wolf-en way Transformed in all Into the night, she heads The very next day Deadened red In sorrow torn My heart decides To rid this world Of her wolf-en side Gunsmith called Silver required Bullets made Revolver acquired The very next night Shrubbery clearing Quickened steps Wolf-en nearing Up i stand As she growls at me Her teeth bloodied Saliva streams In one massive leap She makes for me As i draw my gun And fire three In whimpering howl To the ground she falls Whimpering silenced Her very last call The girl of my dreams I met one night This changing beauty I killed tonight http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/fantasy2.php
