Wolf Wool

  

Cowering cold in a fat fleshy heap;

Well disguised wolf cuddles dumb sheep.

In slow robotic rings we graze,

Hard concrete pastures and city light haze.

Don’t raise your head! They’ll cart you to slaughter!

Perhaps living death outshines Death itself.

But time dries up like thin dewy water;

And all become meat, wool or trophy pelt.

 

Forgive me if I must devour your young.

Blood curdles guilt on my sharp tongue.

I take just enough to remain;

Bandages for vast hunger pains.

My conscience has found no bandage at all.

My instincts are burning sulfuric lakes.

I hate what I am. I can’t change at all.

I kill, and by killing; dampen my rage.

 

Hold me together. I’m falling apart

I am a monster with a lover’s heart.

 

Let me infiltrate everything you are.

I will embrace you, but love may leave scars.

 

Flowering mind behind satanic eyes;

Blood-thirst explodes, deep manic cry.

My graceful steps tend to deceive,

And pave sweet paths to jagged teeth.

Don’t trust my soft voice. I can’t trust it myself.

But I will try to keep demons at bay.

I can’t believe how this happy s**t sells.

It’s just that sweet smell. My morals decay.

 

Hold me together. I’m falling apart.

I am a monster with a lover’s heart.

 

Let me infiltrate everything you are.

I will embrace you, but love may leave scars.

 

Two sides merge, my sanity falls.

I’m right on the verge of destroying you all.

But, then I’m alone. Alone, I’m afraid.

So you survive for at least one more day.

 

You're all so weak. I'm not that strong.

Reason protects you, but not for too long.

E.A. Poe and Ted Geisel--God!, what an unlikely pairing!
If I may offer a small suggestion?
A single stanza ought to contain but one rhyme scheme. When you change the rhyme scheme, add an additional space, italicize, indent, change font, or some-other-how indicate that this is a different stanza. I feel that your inexperience as a rhymer shows in these minor structural ways, but not at all in your subtle word choices, which are frequently profound.
Yet once more, though, you have engineered a poem more complex than I can devour at a single sitting. Please RR this to me again, as it will disappear from the queue once this review is complete. It needs further reading!

Expanding on your usual style is just awesome...I love the exploration lately! This is wonderful, the images snap us to your attention, and you pull us by our noses down the twisted path.

Best part:
"Hold me together. I’m falling apart
I am a monster with a lover’s heart.
Let me infiltrate everything you are.
I will embrace you, but love may leave scars."
The repetition of it was smashing.

Dark and brutal, with an oh so readable rhyme, flows beautifully.
Free falling through emotion, nothing held back.
Simply fabulous.

Rhyming is fun to read, and the poem is insane, but in a good way!
Love the way you ended it too!

The line that hit me hard was:

"Flowering mind behind satanic eyes"

Powerful and alive.

Christ on a crutch...that was some serious slinging of poetic hash.....reminded me of frankenstein, with the play off the good clothed in last years evil fashions. Why don't they understand me.....I'm not a monster....oh yes you are. And you my friend are a monster of words...Great stuff.
