Lord Keep Me

You devour everything in your path

With your frightened teeth

Lord keep me away

From the heat,

You pounce on your prey

On the dark paths

Through the dark woods

Lord keep me in the light of day,

You are at the edge of my footsteps

I know

I can feel your breath

And I must move faster, I must go,

I know you lurk in darkness

Afraid of the light

And I see a path before me

A path ever so bright,

A path that you can't follow

For you are a dark soul

Hopefully for me

You soon will die of growing old.

There are multiple possibilities to this poem. It stirs questions in the reader. Are you talking about a spiritual stalker? Is this a Inner demon of personality, drugs, or alcohol? Is this just a person in your life that is trying to hurt you? This is written with so well. It reminds us to put on the full armor and protect ourselves from all evil and evil-doers. Great Job!

A interesting poem. I could feel the desire to break free. I like the desire of God to assist. A interesting ending also. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

I really enjoy your style in how you write your lines and keep it short and keep the reader reading more...but The Lord you speak of in this poem sounds like a demon , so I got confused about that

Wow this is really interesting and I like the thought of a path, a path that is bright, which a dark soul cannot follow. I think I have lost that path.
