-- thoughts
lended strength, borrowed power
brief flash of copper-ice
body exalting
worship and pause
breathe in breathe out
air only feeds the flames
warming frozen sparks
lighting, blue-silver, is burning
bitter cold in my veins
so sweet on my lips
pulse converts to
jungle drums, footsteps, and
rasp of claws against bone
deadly dance
executed at a frantic pace
stately though, and swift precision
drink of me and never thirst
let me taste you
all consuming lust/love/langour
resting at your feet
daydreams from years of wanting
brought out of dreamers' shadow
given form, that spark
illuminating
animating
how can anyone expect mere words
to cage the essence of a tiger
and I, his bloodbound mate... --
