I shut my eyes,
And He starts to wake.
It's an Ungodly hour,
Why now, if ever, does He choose to play?
I wore my stoic mask,
Lest anyone read
Through my scarring past.
It's all too real-
"But I broke your seal."
Beneath this bone-sewn mask I wear,
"I'm a Brother."
He's a Beast!
"And into your every depth, I stare."
My heart's in His hand.
"And your mind, the match."
God, I pray: my fury, save.
"For it is the spark that lights our world aflame!"
They rush forth,
"Jaws-a-snappin'!"
Oh why, oh why?
"Can't I stop laughin'?!"
It's a crooked line of cannibal bliss.
They're charging blind.
"Ne'er hit, ne'er miss."
Through my torment, He lingers near.
"Have I hit a nerve? Perhaps some fear?"
Denied his joy, he holds his tongue.
Despite my peace, He's at my ear.
I move through His world, and find no reprieve.
"In your head, only blood stricken thoughts I see.
Come now, Laddie, how can you ever hope to leave?"
But with his razor-edged words,
"Comes his emasculating fuel..."
Her eyes are blue-
"A wintry, oceanic frost."
Her eyes are green-
"In her spring storm, he's lost."
Stow the words!
"As she mutes my happiness?"
And plays me mine...
"His eyes are crimson:
The color of Angers crew."
My eyes are brown!
"And can't yet shade that Dev'lish hue."
Berate me, be my death-
"As you wish, dear Sa'hin-"
And not Him, yet!
"So for her, you stay?"
Fer Her, I'll stay; for Her I'll burn!
For Her joy is mine, my labors, Hers-
"And to her, we're swine!"
To him, I'm a toy with which to fool.
I'll take her jest, however cruel.
"Boy, bring the whip!"
I'll steel my face and embrace her sting!
"And to her, ev'ry song you'll then sing?"
Aye; and nary a tear, from her cheek shall slip.
"So Her hair is brown?"
An amber inferno, red, and gold!
"Every color man doth behold...
And Her hair, 'tis soft?"
My God, He's caught in her velvet locks!
"It's true; like a wolf to the flock."
So, Brother, we sail?
"Mayhaps the 'morrow.
Tonight I've met my sale."
And as such, the embers fade;
Harlequins army falls to retreat;
Peace settles at my side;
I know that I've been set right.
And as such,
She conquered my Brother, Beast;
She broke down my mask;
Forced me to kiss her feet.
Tonight, He may sleep, but the fear still breathes.
I know once her beauty leaves my gaze,
"Once more I'll have my wake."
My signature won't work here...

So, last night I had another one of my moments in my sleep. It was something of a story, and when I couldn't fall back to sleep, I wrote this terse version. Well, terse compared to what I saw.

And I loved what I saw...

Though, I suppose now a few of you have picked up on what's been bothering me. I guess I don't care anymore.

Also, I know the name "Brother Beast" sounds like "Brother Wolf" from the "Alpha and Omega" series. That's because I changed the name to fit what I wanted. The "wolf to the flock" bit was purely coincidental, I swear.
