-lone Wolf- Poem by Elizabeth Tyease Collins

-lone Wolf-

Rating: 4.9


A predator waits within the
depths of existance,
creeping within the conscience
of safety,
it creeps with a sense of what it
wants,
the deepest way he'll crawl and suffer
with no heart of a humans,
but of pure bred wolf.

Its tongue quenches for the blood
of the innocent,
but there's only one that he craves
for.
When he sees her in his mind
is set to oblivion,
the hair all over and stands on
edge and somewhere beneath the hate
his heart was beating.

The confusion he has reverts to
anger,
as he tears through his lies to tell
her how he truly feels,
but only the yearning to kill her
intensified each time,
every breath that he took was hesitant
because something in his heart restrained
him.

The thoughts of love in his
mind was becoming so strong
and clear,
because no matter how much
he tried to shake the feeling
it kept coming here and there,
so there he sat crounched within
the abyss of his anger,
wondering why his heart beats
once more,
for such a beautiful human

A nice reading poem with striking images and an unusual perception.' lone wolf' waits within the depth of (human) existance and in its animalistic hunger waits for its prey to devour! But in the end the narrator vividually expressed 'Lone Wolf' human characteristics. Thanks for inviting me to read your work-this poem is noneless than a 10

Your poem is a delving probe into the human psyche and what drives some males and individuals. The wolf is actually a very socially organized animal with the dominant alpha male and female in a social hierarchy, but wolves have had a bad rap for centuries. I did the wolf preying upon victims lines also in 'A Season Of Growth', a viking epic, which is not on line. Enjoyed the read.
