I Showed Love My Beast.
_________________

I showed Love
MY Beast, and
She did not Shudder.
(but smiled at me.)

Oh God,This must
be Faith.

(as the damned like
to say.)

Must be Forever..
Or Another Murdered
Yesterday!

(which holds
My Weary Soul
Together.)

Is this what Genius
Sounds Like?
(when falling
in Love.)

A Madman scraping
Dust from Mansion
Floors??!!!!

(in His Finest Sunday
Gloves.)

+++

I showed Love
My Beast, ..and
Laughter Pained
Her Eyes of Blue.

"Surely you Mock
Me!?"
(I screamed.)

"NO My Devil."
she replied.

((It's just that
I Am Beastly
Too.)
