Caged Animal

Caged Animal

My brooding darkness
Thinks on you today

Impatient animal
It paces my rib cage
Back and forth
Back and forth
As steady
As my heart

Your treasured image
Boils away my resolve
To unleash its blood
Animal blood
Dark
And wanting

It tore at your dress
Strips you naked

Those images I created
Of fired eyes
Rake my nails
Over you
Hungry talons of desire

Animal to devour you
Its starving burning
Appeased by each and every mouthful
Its strength overwhelming
Pins you
Holds you in a desperate struggle

Has you animal
Takes you animal
Lusts animal
Loves animal
Paces my rib cage
Back and forth
Back and forth
As steadily
As my heart
