sinuous, sleek
predatory in nature
from the shadows
of my conscience  
creeping to the forefront
of my mind

wrapping oh so
sseenssuuaallyy
around my thoughts
infiltrating into the dark
crevices of my soul

with the hissing sound
of deceptive claws unsheathing
- black and cold,
flaking rust
stroking my spine
shivers arousal

prowling through my heart
slowed to non existent beating
i feel my fingers, soft silk
flexing to steel cables
caressing oh. so. lovingly.
around
your
throat

with a last breath... gasp... *my love
