the Youth and the Wolf – a Mystical Fairytale

Once upon a time
a youth and a wolf were drinking partners
alone together, doing all sorts of crimes
imprisoning themselves into the dark dungeon
enthralled by satanic rhymes

A bolt hit the youth
separating him from the devious wolf
opened his eyes to a beacon of truth
shining from the depth of a mystical forest

The wolf felt pride’s scorch
wishing to hinder the youth’s quest
but he was enchanted by this ablaze torch

The youth daringly sought its grandeur
heedless of the wolf’s plots
guided by a pious raconteur

Into the deep dark forest
the youth walked his path
enlightened only by the far away lamp
but the wolf was filled with wrath..

The wolf dressed in a red cap
pretending to be a sensual little red riding hood
but the youth saw his wicked trap
and shunned this manifested evil in a gorgeous beauty
the wolf could not grasp,
how he was defeated
blindfolded by arrogance, he failed to see
that the youth had surrendered
to infinite love’s Supremacy

Deeper into the forest, all lonely
determined was the wolf,
schemed a new plot..
as the youth was filled with alienation
he put on the robe of an angelic creation
he attracted the youth with a fake celestial temptation
the youth tasted the angel’s lips
and was immediately filled with satanic inspirations
he lost his way
driven crazy by frustration
how could he abandon his sublime station?!
bowed his head in shame..
grief surrendered to falling tears…

The youth’s vision was now blurry
How could he deny his very existence?!
but then again, this is what it is all about..
was it meant to be?
Or was it not………?
