Samia Ali Salama Poet Rhyme

The Lure of the Beast

Each night he stares up at the moon and watches as it peeks 
Through many wispy, floating clouds as both play hide and seek 
His human heart tormented by the demon in his soul 
A part of him fights to break free, the other to be whole 

Soon the man will be transformed and he will roam the night 
No longer can he fight the urge, his will too weak to fight 
Although he wants so desperately to quell the beast within 
Temptation always dominates and he succumbs to sin 

The lure to be a savage beast is burning in his blood 
So strong are the emotions like a raging, river flood 
The man has given in and now until the morning sun 
The two parts run together, man and monster joined as one

Billy Thekidster April 12, 2012 at 1:18 AM Samia, My Wolf Man "contest," aka group work in progress, is not about a werewolf. It's about a man who adapts his life to co exist with a pack of wild wolves alone in the wilderness. Hence, The Wolf Man, but I'd enter this write of yours in my contest anyway. I can see where I could insert this to be part of the full final story. For example, Go here after reading your above magnificent piece again > http://www.poetrysoup.com/poems_poets/poem_detail.aspx?ID=384466 Samia Ali Salama April 12, 2012 at 5:31 AM Hi SillyBilly, Thank you very much for clarifying. I should have read your instructions more carefully. I guess that's what happens when you have werewolves on the mind! LOL I will definitely place it in your contest. Thank you very much. :)

Samia Ali Salama April 7, 2012 at 10:00 AM Hello Rockman, Thank you very much. I really appreciate your comment as werewolves are probably my favorite subject. I will definitely read your 'Wolf Story.' :)

Rockman Pritts April 7, 2012 at 9:55 AM Very nice. Well written, well thought out and a good job with the rhyming. I enjoyed this poem very much. I have one titled "Wolf Story" if you would like to read. Thanks for sharing this one. It made me smile. Rockman.
