Kathy's Poem

Persona Femalia

Have you met the stranger
That lurks within my soul?
She is dark, she is haughty
And her terror is untold.
There are times during the night,
When she knows that I am dreaming.
She comes from the shadows,
And her nightmare takes on meaning.
She takes on the form,
Of a wanton, savage female.
Her talons; they are sharp
And with them she will impale.
I cringe from the knowledge,
That she will not be controlled.
She is rabid, she is angry
And her lust will take its toll.
But when the daylight kills the darkness,
It also kills her might
And she waits in the shadows,
For the coming of the night.
She is dark, she is bloodless
And her heart is black as coal.
And she lives within the depths
of every womans soul
