The Wolf
Dark eyes gleaming, across the room
a cobra's blackness, hypnotic in the gloom
seizing the attention of her wine drenched mind
he always does so well, with this kind
Wicked smile glinting, across the table
teeth like the wolf's from an ancient fable
nibbles at the verges of her world wearied heart;
he now makes his move, which he's planned from the start
Magnetic charms tingling, across the space
a warm flush of blood begins rising to her face
her voice gets husky and her fingers quiver,
she feels a rush of delight with a sudden shiver
Strong hands touching then, across the bed
in this darkened place, where she's been led
the prey's now his; the feast begins
he smiles again, with his lupine grin
No emotions are shared, across these souls
no passion; each but plays their role
the hunter and the hunted must
ignore their hearts, when they choose lust
