Kuda's Poetry

yes i write poems

These first two are part of a planned trilogy. They are about a werewolf(in the traditional sense) who was bitten a few months prior to the first poem. The second takes place a few months after THAT.

Third poem is something random I came up with.

The Ultimate Game

Spoiler

As I pad on silent paw
Survival is my only law
Absolutes rule above all others
Black and white- there are no colors
To live and die is black and white
A desperate struggle, the fiercest fight

Survival is the ultimate game
I win at all costs, no time for shame
Win or lose, that's up to Fate
But without skill, Life shuts her gate
To lose the game is to lose Life's light
Forever lost in eternal night

No time for morals, I must feed
My quarry? Human- easy to bleed
What was once my kin is now my prey
Affection draining with each day
Yet every kill still claws at my heart
I wonder, will it tear me apart?

But as I gaze up at the moon
Hunger rises; I should hunt soon
Is it all worth it? I wonder in pain
I know the answer; one thing's the same
As I stalk the moonlit air
The single law is always there.

Fighting the Curse

Spoiler

I've fought the curse, to no avail
Against the bloodlust I can't prevail
Tasting blood, destroying life
Their human screams bring my own strife
My own nature I can't forgive
I've almost lost the will to live

Every night I kill to feast
The rising moon, it calls the beast
Until I can't refuse that call
Wanting the hunt holds me in thrall
Thrill of the hunt- too good to hate
Kill to survive, no tempting fate

I can't suppress that feral need
I'm forced to do that primal deed
Losing sanity, day by day
As my humanity slips away
Driven by hunger, the fiercest pull
I feel as if I've lost my soul

Always questioning my thoughts
I see the terror that I've brought
On every face I've killed to live
They give the thing they cannot give
They fear the dark, not knowing why
They live short lives, and then they die.

The Hunt

Spoiler

Bad enough you take my prey
Or your guns scare it away
Now you hunt me all the long day
With your guns drive me away

Safe in shadows where you lurk
You let your rifle do your work
One well-aimed shot- the bodies jerk
As your bullets do their work

Such a cowardly way to kill
You slaughter all just at your will
You track me down, wishing me ill
The deer have died, just as I will

Observing me with heartless eyes
So confident: "That beast there dies."
You look aside, where your gun lies
And you repeat, "That wolf there dies."

You aim for me, and I know not
But then you miss- the warning shot!
I flee for life, the trail hot
Alerted by the warning shot

As you give chase I know I'll die
And as I run, I wonder why
You so despise one such as I
And so I run, not knowing why...

 

Reviving this. No idea why I write stuff like this, but it makes me feel better.

[Unnamed]

Spoiler

Emotionally pained with mentality strained
A cold gust of wind as I gaze out the door
With nothing to gain, succumb to the pain
A sharp jab, a stab as I rise off the floor

A cold stab of fear, the breakdown draws near
Anxiety's pull as I gaze to the sky
No gentle carress with memory stressed
Wanting death, deep breath as I last try to fly

My sanity folds with my blood burning cold
Futile cries for help as I fall through the clouds
Tears streaming back as I wait for the crack
Through the void, last joy as I cry out aloud

A starry array with my eyes sightless gray
Crumbling dust as I lay on the road
Awaiting release, stopping my pleas
No sorrow tomorrow, no more to reload

... Yeah...

 

meh

Spoiler

My eyes glisten
You won't listen
Standing by; my mind unfolds

Never been new
I can't hear you
Seeing through all lies foretold

I need release
Don't hear my pleas?
Let me make it a bit more clear

There's too much strife
I want my life
I need to get out of here

Just set me free
Don't you trust me?
Let me make my own mistakes

No more nurture
It's my future
Let me choose the path it takes

Haven't been too happy irl as of late.
