Beware: the Night Hunter

Lurking in the shadows 
Stalking her prey
A hunger burning inside of her
Taking pleasure in the hunt
She watches and waits
Like a panther sleek and silent
She moves in for the kill
Entranced by pheromones 
Her prey surrenders
Claws extended
She takes him in her grasp
She feeds upon weakness
She dwells in deceit
This demonic creature
A prowler in the darkness
A mistress of the hunt
Resembling a woman

Yoni Dvorkis Date: 4/6/2009 8:21:00 AM Wow. Sounds like a fun night of clubbing on the town. I'm with L'nass on the yielding idea. Could be worse. At least she's not a Preying Mantis. I'd be slightly more worried. Not by much though:) Cool concept Lolita. -Yoni Login to Reply

L'Nass Shango Date: 4/6/2009 7:38:00 AM And yet I am so mesmerized that I hunger to yield to her. I am still under your spell ... don't let go, you got me with your writes, I rather yield than face the fall. Peace and love Login to Reply
