The Pack

Ghostly

The flowing of velvet

Caught in the richest night breeze

Hidden amongst the shadows

We have come

To take away the light

Cut the ties

Caress the weak and frail,

“The few”

Feed on the rich and ignorant,

“The many”

Caught in the trap

Amongst the grip of the beast

With the eyes of God

And grin of Satan

I’ll carry your mind

To a world of

Pure delight

With every step

With every beat

You’ll let it go…

A whisper

Is all you need

Don’t fight it

It will devour what it needs

Bring those eyes to life

Broken free into a night that is unforgiving

Turned loose to ravage god’s gift

Like a pack of wolves

We’ll live forever

Tied together

To live behind the night

Under a of shade red

Hiding from the light

How interesting, the first poem I look at today, is about wolves. Loved it. The flow. The poignant descriptions. Very nicely done.

I like your poem a lot. It was dark and intense. IT is a very dramatic poem that is literal. Very beautiful.

Very intense, and very well written poem....the flow is magnificent, despite the dark mood and implications expressed..... I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one....

when I read the first word ghostly as I went on down to read your whole poem, I just felt spirits around, even if the words were different, the word ghostly caught me and I loved it.
