"Were of wolf"



He stumbles,he falls,blood boils as it answers the calls
The sanity lost within mazes of foggy mist to serpetine the shadow hills and twilight moors
Its icy fingers, an open hand linger…
As they further drift into a moonlit abyss' madness knocking down the door

Rips and shreds, clothes into rage
This mood of terror sends shivers up a rotting corpse spine
The frigid air an uncanny atmosphere
To the awakening, “were of wolf” absolute divine

Under halo spun shafts which torture and bath, the cycle last bitten of the man
And the monster beneath like the dawning lunar, he begins to rise
Blood scent breeds within the end of jaws of death
As a massive furry chest sucks up breathe, intense, fuels the killing cries

Bloodshot eyes his world so ever angry red
A heartbeat, a drum of rhythms from the lost Shaman’s friend
He leaps and bounds, past trees and foggy grounds
As the lure, the call of the wild, instinct to the end

Will, like a guiding spirit him to his prey
Frantic, claws dig deeper into earth
 Harder and harder, faster and faster, night air rushing in his face
Til’ savage mind commands THE JUMP! and new adrenaline gives rebirth

A silence of the still as gliding through air…THEN TWO COLOSSAL BEASTS COLLIDE!!!
The grizzly and the “were of wolf”, the canine and the bear!
Butchers, without precision, hot knives through butter, the flesh that tears
But, “were of wolf” seeks and searches throat first, fights unfair

Massive vices locked on combat for dearest of lives
As the witching hours pass, shimmering globe of glow shims grimmer dim
And a middle of nowhere man from a nightmare dream is beginning to stir
Alive! bolts to sunrise awake, remerges a human soul upon sweet mother earth caked in red and covered in sin!

Nighttiger

A fortyish native born all American man. Married twice and for the last time. I have four children; Three daughters and one son that are all over the age of eighteen. I also have two grandchildren; one three years old and one nine months old. Inspired by God, tragedy, life's experiences and then a fairy tale love. I never intentionally set out to write poetry, but "She" inspired me. "She" meaning the love of my life. That love is a passion that after thirteen years still grows stronger each and every day. It eventually had to be put into writing. As I wrote poetry to her, she encouraged me to approach other subjects. Doing so brought me to discover that poetry could wash away the bitter tastes of life (suicide, cancer, and divorce) that were still living like demons inside me. So when poetic therapy brought those impish fiends to a stalemate, I began to experiment more. Creating fictional characters and situations within my works. The support of this online community has inspired me even further to continue to hone my writing skills giving the readers the best that I can offer. Thanks to all you out there in Lulu land. more…
