Theme: Integrity

Beast

Emptiness...
an empty husk
No warm bonds,
The weightless mind,
Floating in the cold, dark, void.

No ripples,
just stillness
Like polished black marble,
lies undisturbed
Surface of the emotional pond.
Pebbles, rocks, leaves and flowers,
Sink without trace,
without ripples.

But,
The murky turbulence at the depths,
Churns and moves with sinister purpose
Who knows the depths to which,
The darkness of mind sinks.

The beast finds itself
Inhumanity,
a living entity.
Feral glow lights the eye
Hunting lust lights the mind
Walking becomes stalking
Opportunity becomes wounding strikes.
Draw of blood -
Pumping of endorphins
and
Satisfaction to mind.

Pain a stimulus '
given or taken,
Fueling the cold rage
Maim, mutilate, crush, vaporize.
Realization of nature's law -
Destroy or be destroyed.

Bones popping and splintering,
Tendons tearing and snapping
Flesh shredding and mincing,
Struggling in a sea of agony.
Trying to find a bearing
Finding a semblance of it,
Losing it, finding it, losing it,
Finding it...
Laughing,
Aware the circle is completing.

The beast looks up,
Bearing it's teeth, and
The eye bleak -
A sickly smile.
