The Prey

Eyes of darkness, Caught the prey, Brutal eagle eyes, Always hovered her, She veiled her, Beneath the tree, But eyes chased her always. She hid her, In shades, Red-blooded eyes, Stabbed darkness, Pulled her out. She cried, wept, Withered away, No one heard weeping heart, Except brutal ears. Ferocious nails, Pierced into flesh. Tears percolated to mothers (earth’s) womb, Stains of lost virginity, Became filthy. They buried her.

A wonderful love poem imbued in romantic emotions. Tom, fourth line from the end, there must have been a typo...how instead of hold.
