Once Is Not Enough

One encounter is not enough it can create desire, lust, longing, craving. But that isn't enough to understand your craziness, giving me a taste of your mind, letting me dance with your demons. Just as a poet can't just write about an emotion he must take his pen, stab it into his vein and carve on the parchment with his feelings. It's not good enough to say the wolf bites, you must imbue the words with the salty, metallic flavor of blood that is caressing the tongue and slowly dripping down and staining the muzzle leaving a crimson pool in the snow. One can't say the wolf howls for he serenades the moon with his mournful dirge singing of lost brothers and sisters of the pack. Never is it that the wolf runs for the the wind parts as he moves, teasing the coarse fur while he stretches out his neck to catch the scent that draws him forward. One note, One word, One verse, One song. One is not enough..... except to create the drive for more.
