Predator
Dark fur glistens, the gleam of ivory fangs stands out.
Yet all of this happens beneath the muscle of a man.
Like a predator you are hunting, me and like you prey I stand.
Trembling before the beast I see reflecting in the depths of your eyes.
My heart is racing; I don’t even know how to try.
Escaping is an option, as well as bane.
I’m playing a very dangerous game.
Inside each person, our belief is set
That an animal resides, far better than a pet.
Your animal is darker, and stronger than most.
You have locked eyes upon me.
Your prey, your mate.
Yet I am not ready
I run from you, from perhaps even myself
Not ready yet for the feelings that well up inside me
Yet like the strong beast that you are, you follow
My trail, standing out to you in the darkest of nights
You keep up with me, easily each turn and leap in my flight.
Now you have cornered me, my heart between your claws
Please be gentle, with my heart between your panther’s jaws.
