The Taste Of Fear

 

Valiant is the wolf

Knocking at the door

Of the devil’s minions

To denounce the pack

He has been running with

And terminate his membership.

With bloodshot eyes

As his badge of courage

And a crimson sense

For a secret weapon

The taste of fear

Will become his salvation.

Release - sometimes gotta face it - what other way is there to live? x

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

So very true hon xo

[Ghost of Jupiter]

pulling away from ties that hold us in bondage, tempting the dangerous fate that can await beyond the unknown. sometimes going your own way takes all the courage we can conjure up within us. Brilliant write...

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Yes it most certainly does, thank you for sharing that wonderful insight.

For a secret weapon
The taste of fear
Will become his salvation.

Love the way the piece leads the reader to form her own backstory.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you, that is what I was intending, glad to hear that is what it is doing.

[WindSong]

It's good to be back and thank you for the welcome! I love your poem! I like the style and presentation of it with its lucid imagery, as well! It was certainly a delight to read my fellow poet!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Why thank you so much.

[Rachelle]

Much to reflect upon here… but beyond valor is wisdom...

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Again you expressed words to live by.

[emmajoy]

Powerful words, powerful meaning. Sometimes whispering politely doesnt do a thing, one has to shout, make a stand, remember, '.. unto your own self be true.. '. Standing firm about something important in life takes courage, for sure.. in spite of the 'taste of fear'.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you for the wisdom within your review classy lady.

"The taste of fear
Will become his salvation."

So ironic but true. Sometimes that fear will lead us away from our own damage.
