Charmed Monsters

Longing

yearning

ever so tired

grey is the day

this life

this path I trod.

Where is the light?

Where is the joy?

No Eden can I find.

The past…..

Free wheeling

dealing card after card

pain

humility

hungering

feeding upon the blackness

the evil

rooted within.

My past…..

No longer allowed to define

to dictate…..

Cut away

carve away

sword

epee

skewered to the ground

demons chained

eased with dosed medication

mine to do with as I will.

These daemons

still reside within

gentle murmurs

holding pain

holding fear

now my protectors

I need no longer beware.

Sanctuary found

hellions bound

labor of love.

This me

beauty and beast

all rolled into one.
