The first poem Baneful Creature was written by my best friend on poems and quotes , I have decided to add it so everyone will know just what the battles end is realy all about . It was written in responce to her poem to help her to overcome

Baneful creature
by Patricia

Locked in the darkest corner of my mind
A creature awaits, with razor sharp talons
An malignant entity of vile disgust
An Eyeless monster that burns with rage

I am Tormented for it's sweet release
To open the door and let it out
To do the foul deed my heart desires
Unharnessed and out of control

Fiery hands of hate caressing my flesh
Making me quiver in mock sexual bliss
Mouthing promises of satisfaction
Like a gentle lover waiting to fulfill my needs

Soft whispers , assuring me of emotional cleansing
Be released, be cleansed, feel the satisfaction
Allow me to do my works, do what I do best
You wont regret my wrath on thine enemies

I turn the key, and open the door
A deafening howl splits the night.
The air is thick and the sky is dark
A Baneful creature is born

It's Name "REVENGE

THE BATTLES END

MAY 24TH
12:25 AM

Night approaches, the silence grows in anticipation. Awaiting its time of arrival.
The banshee inhales , consuming all that is around. securing its domain .
As it ritualistically claims its victory in advance! knowing , there is no adversary,
It exhales , in victory once again . Releasing all the evil of its very existence.
There is no longer need for its screams, but only the stench of its breath,
To awaken its innocent victim as it does nightly , seeking out that which it does not deserve.

But tonight the silence is broken . By the gentle whisper of a greater adversary.
Calmly , gently , tenderly, the adversary steadily approaches . A glowing light brightens.
Consuming all darkness . Until the banshee starts to tremble in anticipation
What mighty warrior is this? Does he not know , this darkness is my domain
Suddenly the light becomes brighter , until the banshee can no longer see .
In fear he trembles , realizing who has arrived , As the mighty warrior begins to speak .

I am FORGIVENESS and none can conquer me now , for I am accompanied by LOVE
Did you not foresee its bright light shinning ? The banshee tries to fight in a futile attempt.
I have power , for I have two at my command ! I have FEAR , I have HATE , and I am REVENGE!
The mighty warrior gently speaks, Though I am but one none can conquer me.
For I am accompanied by the greatest warrior of all ! The guiding light of LOVE!
The banshee collapses in defeat. But where will we go ? For we must exist!
Calmly the mighty warrior commands the banshee , YOU MAY ONLY GO,------------------ WHERE I AM NOT

    In the first stanza there should not be a space between 'adversary'and 'it exhales'. It must have been broken off unintentionally:)

    Jim,

    I didn't really understand this verse, but I have changed it a little because you asked me to look at it for you. This is how I would have posted it. Just look carefully and you will see what I mean:)
    I hope you appreciate my input, I mean well with you:)

    Take care.
