Stepping out for a midnight snack As its stomach roars like a lion Taming the jungle As it stalks it's prey With adrenaline pumping It smells and sniffs An alluring scent As sweet as honey It's hunger enraging it Like a stone cold killer Licking and smacking It's lips as it lusts Over the smell of blood Quenching an uncontrollable thirst As it's prey gets closer All humanity disappearing It hears the feint heartbeat Of another as it grows nearer The temptation grows stronger As the lust looks for an outlet Crouched like a lioness Hunting down a gazelle Readying to pounce Willing itself to stay down Coiled like a viper Ready to strike The sweet scent Daringly close You could almost taste it It starts to snarl Barely audible Not a creature could hear Not even a mouse the sweet scent So close its tangible It's eyes narrowed It's head cocked Like a loaded gun Daring to fire rummaging it's paws Into the earthborn soil Sizing up its prey destined to pounce   It billows it's growl To a narrow roar Coiling back Latching it's claws into the earth Lunging Letting out an earth-shaking roar The chase was on As the hunted bolted As did the carnivorous apex predator It's instincts honed in to the prey The creature heard the heartbeat Of its dinner Grow denser Grow harder Grow faster The predator smirks The enemy grows weaker Dodging trees Jumping rivers It knows if it makes one mistake It'll be all over As the hunt veers a left The stalker flanks it With a final lunge It's jaw meets the jugular Of its dinner The prey squirms and whines and wails Then silence A sickening crunch Breaks the deadly silence The chase is over

The Hunt
Stepping out for a midnight snack As its stomach roars like a lion Taming the jungle As it stalks it's prey With adrenaline pumping It smells and sniffs An alluring scent As sweet as honey It's hunger enraging it Like a stone cold killer Licking and smacking It's lips as it lusts Over the smell of blood Quenching an uncontrollable thirst As it's prey gets closer All humanity disappearing It hears the feint heartbeat Of another as it grows nearer The temptation grows stronger As the lust looks for an outlet Crouched like a lioness Hunting down a gazelle Readying to pounce Willing itself to stay down Coiled like a viper Ready to strike The sweet scent Daringly close You could almost taste it It starts to snarl Barely audible Not a creature could hear Not even a mouse the sweet scent So close its tangible It's eyes narrowed It's head cocked Like a loaded gun Daring to fire rummaging it's paws Into the earthborn soil Sizing up its prey destined to pounce   It billows it's growl To a narrow roar Coiling back Latching it's claws into the earth Lunging Letting out an earth-shaking roar The chase was on As the hunted bolted As did the carnivorous apex predator It's instincts honed in to the prey The creature heard the heartbeat Of its dinner Grow denser Grow harder Grow faster The predator smirks The enemy grows weaker Dodging trees Jumping rivers It knows if it makes one mistake It'll be all over As the hunt veers a left The stalker flanks it With a final lunge It's jaw meets the jugular Of its dinner The prey squirms and whines and wails Then silence A sickening crunch Breaks the deadly silence The chase is over
