To: The Beast Within
Oh yes, my pet - I hear you,
softly
prowling through your cage.
I cannot bear to look
at you,
still I can’t wish you away.
There’s that rumbling in
your throat,
the resonating growl…
this feeling of some choked
back need,
building quickly to a howl.
Symbolic of some wildness,
foolish I,
thought could be tamed…
I only made you stronger
with the
weight of each new chain.
Therefore I keep you
pent-up,
where only I can see,
afraid to gaze upon you,
terrified…
to set you free.

I wouldn't worry, I know lots of people (myself included) who talk to themselves on occasion. But okay I'll admit that now its written down it does sound a bit weird!
Anyway, you've got great personification in this, I can see the tethered beast prowling round bored with its cage, just waiting to get out.
Brilliant!

Made me smile to read this..you're so brave Nazman. I talk to myself and I answer myself...hell sometimes only myself seems to make any damn sense in this world..*smiles*. Ahh but I do understand about keeping certain things pent up...it can be so rough....I tend to explode them all out ....lol. I enjoyed the read, as I always do when you pen something for our eyes to see. Thanks for sharing you.
Much peace, love and hugs,
Your hippie sis |

Well, nazzy, there are beasts, methinks, in us all. And sometimes, it does well to let them out, roaming free to
do their carnage. (Sometimes a good metaphorical blood-bath is needed in order to restore peace and tranquility
if you know what I mean).
Do I mean that? In the metaphorical sense, yes. I believe there are some who do not exercise this enough, and
yet there are those who let the beast roam free at ALL times, caring not for the damage it does. 'Tis a shame,
those who harbour a beast that could actually do some good with it, keep it under lock and key and those that
allow their beast full access to the hearts of those that may not be strong enough to take the damage, are
never affected with the humility the beast brings ...
Exceptional write here, snazzy. It leaves one to ponder on their own beast within and just how and when
the best time it is to release such a thing .... hmmmmmmmmm (my beast is just looking out the open window
at the moment, but her growl is fierce, no? lol)
*squeezies and a heif*
