An attempt at poetry

This is pretty dark, even for me.

The Chimera
Love is a terrible beast,
savage of tooth and claw.
It shows the pity of a lion to a lamb,
a spider to a fly.
Terrifying and hideous in its visage
it draws my eye like a moth to a candle flame.

Love is a terrible beast,
Cunning and without conscious.
It stalks the jungle my mind,
hiding in the shadows of memory.
Waiting to pounce on an unprepared thought,
ready to devour sense and logic.

Love is a terrible beast,
blacker than the brightest sun.
Yet i long for its razor blade embrace,
Its kiss of fire and ice.
A beast of legend that i seek to slay,
my own personal chimera.
