Shapeshifter

In worlds of darkness
In worlds of light
I travel far and far
In search for my love

What form is he
I care not
What face he has
I worry none

Should he be long and thin
A serpent poisonous as can be
His coils shall surround myself
And sink his fangs upon my veins

If he be majestic and lonely
Wild and beastly as a wolf
His teeth will surely sink in me
And devour my beating heart

Perhaps he be winged and clawed
A magnificent lordly eagle
His claws may strike true
And take my life away

But if he be soft and warm
A bright eyed creature
He would never take so forcefully
The only one who is worthy.

This one throws the reader back in time with mythical creatures a nice twist through verse. There is a love I have that loves surprises too and he plays each part so well he should be in drama.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
