A Beast that Eats Love, a poem by Asif Sultan Matta
A Beast that Eats 'Love' It is the beast that eats goodness leaves man in guilt and deep distress it is the snake that sucks all love No relation sees, it's so ruthless, venom it spreads in affable blood turns it bitter and affectionless Filth it is that taints your pure love loathsome it makes your great beingness Folks cluster around to a loving heart and the one who shouts is the one heard less 'Brave is not one who wrestles men down but the one who waits-- its vent suppress' Anger, berserk horse that failures ride rein it too firm and veer to success. 31- January 2017 Asif Sultan Matta
