Thefierybeast

Once upon a time, there was a beast
A fierce creature that loved to feast
On the flesh of our wicked kind
Its wings set to soar until the end of time

The simple exhale of its gentle breath
Resulted in flames and to some, death
A beast to fear, a beast to flee
But also a magnificent sight to see

This darling creature fought a horrid war
Against armies of men who promised gore
It struggled to defeat its own destiny
And screamed a fire that burned so brightly
It could be seen from galaxies far and wide
And that’s how my love got the sparkle in her eye

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.
