The Incredible Hulk

In the twilight of the night,
shadows dramatically appear dancing
by refracting  of lights off
of my massive  muscular  green body

A monster’s body acquired while saving a young friend
when an invention that I invented exploded

Weary of this madness, I live with,
I exhaust my brain to forge sanity
of the beast that takes hold of me
when the fire of my inner soul is released

Some consider me a superhero
others a mindless savage

I search the  universe in  hope for a cure
but there is  none  in sight for the near  future

My troubled  heart yearns to bath in your presence,
to caress you in my arms,
breathe deep to smell the essence of you,
to venture into  your deep  brown eyes,
kiss your soft, flawless face, and tender lips

My heart  yearns for your tender love and
my salvation to become human once more

Nightmares of this giant green monster
greaves me,
just to  think that a slave, I am
to it

The author has interpreted the man behind the hero, (the Hulk was one of my favorites). A well structured and informative write that explains the man as it teaches the basic history surrounding his life. Emile. #7
