The guardian
There’s a fearsome beast within,
huddled tense and waiting,
in the furthest corner
of this brittle heart.
It lies alert to any signal
that might offer hope
of bursting through
it’s ancient chains,
to prowl freely once again.
It’s steely sinews quiver
as it crouches in it’s haunt;
with feral eyes
burning bright
with a hellish crimson glare.
There never was a time
when this infernal cur
wasn’t lurking in the darkness;
awaiting still and silent
upon the perfect moment
for it’s chance to pounce.
It was the Forgeman
who did commit
the awful creature
to it’s eternal lair.
As only he could see
the need for such a
ruthless guardian there.
