Modern Wolf

The beast hiding within,
Yearning to breathe free.
Ancient lust
Burning like hungry ghost, 
Rising slightly above sleeping 
Dreaming ,lust-full skin.

Awake desire,
Cold sweat and passion.
Devour me, possess me,
Consume me, destroy me,
In a frenzy of pure animal lust
That hides within the primal heart.

Dwelling within the tamed skin 
Of modern man.
Let go and rediscover 
The primal instincts 
That have yet learned 
To speak.
