Love Thy Beast

Love’s kiss brings unbearable joy
A longing to never be alone
Problems arise for he is not a boy
Lacking the flesh of a hardened bone

A beast? Perhaps love has come too soon
Trickery hath blinded your lust
Your love sinks in the swollen dune
May your soul make not a fuss?

Although children you will never bare
Belong with it you must not wade
Your love is one you will never share
Nor will it wither and or ever fade

So unnatural it may seem but coy
Eternal it shall last a toy
