Watching The Watchers Poem by Dillon McKenna

Watching The Watchers

Rating: 4.0


I saw all life and all creation
Crouched under a fallen tree.
Rapt with lewd fascination,
Watching their world go free.

I watched them all night and all day
As they began to fade in the air.
Until but two there stayed,
A handsome lad and a maiden fair.

How silent and serene they are!
Misty with love as a morning rose.
Their eyes like the eternal stars,
Flitting whither the other's goes.

Out of happy curiosity
I continued to observe,
Until in fearsome ferocity
Thence a horrid beast emerged.

The couple retreated in haste,
And I thought all hope gone,
Then joined for a last embrace
As the livid beast stalked on.

Then ‘twas a strange thing indeed,
As the monster maw closed on their head.
The divine lovers' lips did meet
And the rabid beast was fallen dead.
