The Alpha's Confrontation

Infinite Meanings, use your own...perspective

Those crazy yellow eyes pierce your soul,
You look into the wolf's overwhelming past,
Knowledge of the empty phantoms it stole,
As it chased the moon on your vacant lasts.
The contact quickly gets terminated with lust,
The beating painfully throbs against your throat,
That absent instinct to save every mattering must,
Overtaking you, inexistent, upon your oasis it floats.

The trees bow down to the devils advocate,
Bending low to completely halt all exterior motion.
You realize there's a distant repulse with fate,
And that the wolf's soul will empty all it's emotion.

You will get the haphazard luxury of a witness,
Leaving all those worries far along the trail,
You sprint to the Alpha, not a second to miss,
Before he smiles maliciously and stares stale.
The transition is lusciously hidden in haze,
Both of your features simultaneously flare,
Your used body, thrown aside in deep daze,
And you feel the heartbeat, the one you now share.

Author's Note

The Alpha and the wolf are one in the same.
This might be a little hard to understand at some points, but the end is simpler.

I'm going to review the writing before I attempt the meaning.
So, here we go:
The rhymes are really amazing, and it has a impeccable rhythm. I love the language: Haphazard luxury of a witness, just great, really.
i would really love to know what inspired this, because its really unique, I have never heard of a poem about wolves except one of mine, and that's not really about wolves, it has to do with wolves, you know what I mean? But I figure this isn't really about wolves. I just... I just don;t know, I can't wrap my brain around it. Once school starts and I'm literate again I'll reread it, see if maybe I can figure it out XD.

Thanks Sophie! I always love to see a long, nice review from you. And yeah I know what you mean, this isn't all about wolves either, but it has them like yours. I appreciate your review and I can't wait to hear how you interpret this later haha

[Emma Ruth]

Beautifully written; nice use of language :)

[Odayin]

Thanks:)

This piece speaks to me of the contest within a pack for who has the right to be the Alpha. In the first stanza it's the young male feeling powerless against the might of the Alpha male, the second stanza is a flow of time, change and evolution with the young wolf, from pup to adult. The last stanza to me speaks of the transition of power, the old Alpha has grown weak and is now replaced by the new Alpha, who is has seen and learned from the pains of it's youth and now takes the steps into attaining the right to rule the pack.

Fascinating ink!

I absolutely loved readin this review. You practically pegged the meaning. That wasn't how it started, but that's kinda what it became.
Thank you for your outstanding review and taking the time to read this

[Wolfwind]

Most welcome. =) I completely understand how when i piece starts to flow into ink it is one thing and then evolves as it dances down the page. Happens to me all the time.

Okay...this isn't one of my few darker moments these days...so I'm gonna look at it from a different light for me..then read again when I'm in the darkness once more. It shouts to me of the boy becoming a man. Both are within but as the body matures the outer shell changes...though the inside stays true..but boy to man ..... subserviant to begin bowing to dictate...but realizing he can become greater than just a boy. A man hides deep within...though I'm lost on the yellow eyes...or just a representation of an inner desire to come forth...way off..but I'll read it again later. Very complex write ... amazing talent you really have. I love how you write :)

[Odayin]

You actually got parts of that right. It is like a transformation..but not like into a werewolf as some may think. But if you mix yours with a wolf (that's the yellow eyes) you pretty much got it. It's kind of unique.
And thank you! That means a lot coming from you

I absolutely adore the animal!! its my favorite animal and you really did it justice!!

[Odayin]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Its one of my favorites too and really a beautiful animal to write about

[Crifa]

Oh my God. I saw this on the read requests a while ago and shoved it off. Once I came back to it I started reading and I thought it was a sick poem you found and wanted me to see but then I saw the author's note and I was like "Same pic as Odayin? Whhaaatt?" then I saw your name and I was stunned. Amazing I have to say this is my favorite by you

[Odayin]

*Odayin wordlessly clicks "manage writing" and slowly moves "The Alpha's Confrontation" to the top..."
Thanks bro, I didn't realize how gallons it was! XD

[Sunshadow Coyote]

[Crifa]

Ummm...what?

[Odayin]

I...I have no idea. I wasnt going to say anything

[Crifa]

I'm confused on what he means..

[Odayin]

It must be my first comment^
But i figured he would understand it..

[Crifa]

oh...not many can..

[Sunshadow Coyote]

expected

[Sunshadow Coyote]

oh it was a narration of action...lol i was like what?

[Odayin]

Ohhhh haha

[Xx_Mizfit_xX]

The flow and words seem so natural, it is very well written. I love the rhyming, really witty choice of words:)

[Sunshadow Coyote]

A very natural poem...one i think deserves considerable recognition for your view on peoples boundaries within themselves. A well thought out poem.

[Odayin]

Hmm, interesting view. I like how you received it
