I snuff out the candles in our room.
It is the time: a forest awaits
for a hunt, breathless, under our bare feet.
Moonlight blazes above the sky,
stormy as your eyes.
In my dream before reality,
I am the hunted wolf & you, the hunter.
You scent me better than the hounds,
grounding me, my heart beating
louder than my legs.
You take your knife, slicing
me open like an offering, our bread.
There is the taking & the giving-
as I burn, sliding down
your throat like wine, feral & heady.
Soon a heart
grows underneath my ribs. Pulses
and stretches like branches, into a tree.
My eyes hold your whispered awe,
tender as spring.
We chase
again. But I do not let you
find me easily
this
time.

ReplyDeleteI love the part about the heart growing but most especially, I love the last delicious verse.

A beautiful sensous and passionate write.
ReplyDelete"stormy eyes" and "more easily this time"
ReplyDeleteare thrilling, maybe because of the consensual fright in between.
I live in an apartment block when I am in town.We share a common wall. I have neighbours who chase moan and shriek fortissimo. Maybe I should slip this poem underneath their door LOL!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, that would be hilarious LOL ~
DeleteGrace, Sensual and the imagery is topnotch.
ReplyDeletePamela
Oh wow~I so want to meet your muse! LOL I like how you use animal/hunting images to portray the passion of the lovers. Great steamy read :-)
ReplyDelete...i don't know if you're aware of this teledrama but your piece reminded me of 'Lobo' starred by Angel Locsin & Piolo Pascual... hehe... 'a forest awaits for a hunt...' --- whew, when this line came in we were given a glimpse already where the whole scene would be goin'.... ha... smiles....
ReplyDeleteReally, I am not aware of that series, smiles ~ Thanks Kelvin ~

And the ending. :)
LOL! Very imaginative mind to describe this chase as a relationship between the hunter and the hunted.
ReplyDeleteWon't be surprised you may like BDSM!
Thank you but I am not interested at all ~

The forest gives a sense of an earthy sensuality - the bare feet gave a sense of texture.

ReplyDeleteeasy to get caught in a chase like that. but oh, I do like the ending...
