The Hunt
I find myself lost in thoughts of you
Desiring to draw your memory
From my mind
Across my tongue
And deep into my heart
A passion flickering behind my eyes
Burning always
Embers ready to ignite
When I look upon you
Ablaze at your touch…
You are beautiful and dangerous
A wild animal lurking in the forest
A panting beast driven by your desires
I follow you
Alive in the chase
The need to find you overwhelming
A glimpse of your skin
Driving me deeper into the darkness
Hunting
Wanting to discover your lair
Stalk you
Melt the fear from you
Slowly
A step closer
Your flight from me
Delayed a second more
A longer look
And then
Longer
Moments drawing into more moments
Someday I will approach you
Naked and unashamed
And you will know I mean no harm
I, not a part of your world
But drawing closer
I must watch my step
Every foot falling on breaking twigs
You were built for speed
The grace of flight
Rippling in your veins
I feel your tension
I, pushing softly against your instincts
Knowing that every move
May drive you away
And I
Alone
Will have to start again
And I will
Again and again
My hunt for you consumes me
Like a raging fire
Burning behind my eyes
Across my tongue
And deep
Deep
Into my heart
