The poet weaves his magic web of words They dance in the moonlight Glistening with dewdrops Like mezmerizing stars Stalk and pounce is left to lions The prey will come to him Lured by sheer beauty A glimpse of the soul Hidden secrets locked in boxes Peeks inside draw her near The truth is found in years of purging Unabashed release without inhibitions Darkness and light Shadow puppets of reality Watched, absorbed And loved more with each passage Harsh words foment Pain breeds caring Love and hope pull her in Laying bare on the dewy silken words She waits and he smiles As he claims his prize
