Scent
My fingers were running away
with the excitement of it all
you could just taste the thrill
of the catch in the air
as they tripped one by one
into the wolf’s lair
He’d been following the scent
of my dark dark red roses
and the distant sight of the
glow of a gauche nakedness
running in the glow of the moon
the whispering wind
beckoning
wanton trysts
sensually lifting
strands
of my ebony hair
like birdsong they flew
each a chord in the
Je veux être avec toi
heartbeat, waving him on
further in
further on
sentient
sent
he was sent
scent he was
the perfume of fire
and of heat
further in
further on
the undoing,
my fingers
played on
they
played on
they
played on
