Your Gentle Loving

Would you let me go hunting again? 
Would you? 
For my tender arms will be abused 
By the wants of many foxlike men 
Who lure in flesh yet crawl back to hunger 
To seek newer and tastier flesh 

Would you let me go searching again? 
Would you? 
For amongst those vultures i shall be a dove 
So build me a nest and keep nestling me 
For your gentle loving has prepared me not 
To seek romance in the arms of another

"The woods are wild" the Wolf said to Red, "you are a brave young woman." I like the sensual nature of your poems. I will read some more later. John
