Footsteps Echo Below

In my dreams
Paces a lioness
Footsteps echo below
Sensual her abode
In the jungle's glow

Ravenous, her gaze
A gazelle races by
If dinner, dismembered
Dry-bones' dissociation
Bloody cherry-pie
Dessert's constitution

"bloody cherry pie" - ouch! I may never be able to look at cherry pie again. Your imagery is well received.

Oh, just think of the 'bloody' as that overused British adjective and you'll be just fine. LOL. Thanks for the feedback. :) gw
