Straying Away

I look and wonder what you are like inside, 
The superficial aspect that I see intrigues my like. 
I estimate the treasure that you hold;
Your mind itself a temple of gold. 

Lost in the colors expelled by your hair strands, 
Fantasizing in what else lies within your hands. 
Your touch; the way it rises the hairs on my skin. 
Engulfing me in mixed feelings of fear and excitement. 

Like a panther on a wet dark night 
I silently observe you like my prey. 
Before you can think of it I will be holding you,
Your neck between my teeth will be my prize. 

The last of your twitches will take me back in time,
Where I would observe waiting for the right moment. 
The consumption of your being will be the final touch; 
Devouring the forbidden fruit and proving my dominion.
