The Falconer's Prey

If weary my heart should thy secret betray,
Or lay bare to all what within me doth stay—

Till voices from unseen in my song shall rise,
One breath I become thy companion true.

No prey like to thee may the falconer claim,
And if I be lost, none bringeth my name.

Last night no tidings of thee came to me,
Nor

swooping in whilwind spiral

Predator and Prey - the Musical

Welcome - predator, please meet prey:
"Ah, we knew there would come this day", 
Predator says, "Prey, have a seat. 
We'll celebrate this day we meet."

Fa la la-la la- Fa la la-la lee!

     Prey says, "if you don't mind, I'll stand.
     There's something you must understand.

Sisterhood of Scars: now with audio

Each wound I have suffered in my life so far
Has taken so long to form a battle scar
But what doesn't kill me, they say, will make me stronger still
And every wound I suffer will eventually heal

Pre-chorus:
This is the silent language of scars
You can read my soul like Braille
And for each sad story, for every sad

she felt like his prey

she felt like his prey
personality deceased
no longer herself

trying to please him
angry sullen little man
enjoying her pain

she felt constricted
attempting to make him glad
her soul was dying

did she realize
she aided in her abuse
sadly I think not

raptors raptors birds of prey

raptors, raptors, birds of prey
hawk, eagle, owls, vultures dark and gray
with your sharp talons and hooked beaks
related to dinosaurs before the Greeks

raptors, raptors, birds of prey
hunting up close and far away
with a fast dive you make me cringe and duck.
Here they come. I must say f...

becoming food

raven's wingspan was huge
her talons grabbed me right up
I became food

Cheetahs are cheaters

They're as swift as a lightning bolt,
Just a stern gaze—gazelles revolt.
A fleeting shadow in the night,
All prey leap off in frantic fright.

Stalking prey is their known special skill,
A silent whisper, born to kill.
Seventy miles per hour they race,
Yet still they blaze with fiery pace.

Their claws, a nightmare to all flesh,
Though they prefer their meals served

Lions Dont Eat Carnivores

Grass-eating animals are their favorite food
Lions don’t eat carnivores, they are not in the mood
When they devour the tasty stomach of their prey
They can stay healthy one more day

A Prey Circle

A feathered crowd of crows
jostle together over roadkill.

They peck and tear,
lift a little in the air
allowing other beaks
to stab at a morsel.

Iridescent black wings
flap in the cram and bustle.
Above them a hawk hovers.

The raptor waits,
the crows will eventually
fall to squabbling,
some will fly away cawing,
others will strut the highway
seeking other scraps.

Then the hawk will descend
to rummage

Count

Step by step - you follow me.
Step by step - I count to three.
Step by step - let's make a bet:
I'll give you a prise you won't forget.

One - I run down corridor.
Two - then, hide behind a door.
Three - I have no place to flee.
What is now supposed to be?

The count is out -

A Conscious Prey

I starve your attention Aphrodite,
Without you, I am never content,
My heart’s unwavering God of love
Curse me, poison my grateful soul,

Harbor my destruction, create me anew,
I am addicted to the web you woven,
I am conscious of being a prey, I choose,
All I want is to be together with you…
