#prowl
you shifted your weight like a hunter when you saw me— dead eyes, dead aim. straight and true, like a well-told lie, sliding off the tongue with just enough rhythm to sound like gospel. a lottery in balance, measured only at the close of things. that look of yours— it’s a glass cannon, and I swear I see a crack. come on, baby— give it to me. take your shot. aim for the chest while my heart swings open like a rusted gate on its last hinges. make me think twice about getting too close to your kind again. bare your teeth— smile. let that decoy body pull me in while your hands steady, while your breath slows, while you line it all up. exhale. squeeze. BANG— a clean **** I’m yours. now drag me home, lay me out, and do what you do best.

on the prowl
Sinking slowly down Into the silent darkness How far will I fall? Fear, like an old friend, catches me in cold embrace freezing me in place. Familiar unknown memories like faded scars half-remembered pain. Shining silver streak, fine claws trace down the tear's path trailing bright rubies. I will not recall, you who starves in solitude, after I'm awake. Patiently you'll prowl, at the edge of every dream, waiting to break through... or for me to fall, down into your arms again once more in your thrall.

my lonely nightmare
Ooh baby my soul is bubbling up between the cracks my heart is a steamroller, gonna run you off the tracks my head is an animal my fingers are liars they shake like they don't want to touch you tonight but I do oh baby, I do sour sticky sweet pumping out for hours, take a seat I'll keep you weighed down by my teeth on your collarbone, we both know it's where theyd rather be, and we both know there's no escaping me when I'm out on the prowl -- take a backseat (we both know it's where you'd rather be.)

prowl
I hunt for happiness I have a hunger that runs deep I prowl chase and pounce still nothing I feel as if i'm being watched I turn around I see nothing I've come to realize my head is hunting me a ghost haunts my body but doesn't take control it just puts happy memories in my head I take away sadness instead I'm hungry for happiness I'm going to starve and end up dead

Hungry
Night all along was A monologue of lights, On prowling darkness!

Dramatic monologues of nights
As I am, I growl with hunger As I lust, my musk malodorous I do, as though the thunder Confess my will shall so oppress It’s a drive my eyes are fixed upon The scampering of the lemmings My fangs blood and phlegm do don No intelligence worth condemning It is life for which I fight The ***** becomes my prowling My need to breed a might Her moon begins my howling I claw my way through darkness Scavenging morsels to find Eyes that perceive a bark lest Be indicative of my kind

Seeing Through The Eyes Of An Animal
the rain tree stands still, it's denizens are restless; sense axemen prowl!

consternation
Its frustrating to me That a man can hold so much power And make me feel so small And yet... loved. The delicate play Of manipulation Held me in an intricate web Of control. I don't miss Waiting in his web of lies And manipulation. Wondering if I was good enough, Tasty enough For his delicate and dominating sensibilities. If I didn't fit his fancy He'd find another To prey upon. Keeping me at the center Of his web Waiting, Claiming, I was his admired, Beloved. I was adored And should be elated. I saw the freedom Of this resilient spider- All of his eyes looking thirsty. Here I am- the main delight, Waiting in his nest. Funny how he went out searching for more When I've been here, Waiting for him to feast.

A Delicate Play
Naked, as the rising sun echoes deliverance. Behind a shroud, prowling the edges of Shangri-la. Pounces to devour sea and sky.

White Tigress
When the moon comes full circle The change rips through me like a power circuit It starts in my toes Far away from my heel they grow My knees now bend backward My bones all feel fractured Still on two feet I stand As I go out and survey my land There is a hunger inside me that stirs And my blood lust all will incur As I run swiftly through the woods To meet my pack, my hood I am the alpha female the leader of this brood In the bright moonlight we go in pursue of food We stalk the campers in their tents They never had a single hint Inside their canvas shell the blood did spray They had become our prey We shredded the skin to make it tender So savoury sweet as I remember With blood dripping off our jowls We soon go back on the prowl I am the alpha female I am the leader of my pack If you see us coming, you better not look back Better yet when the moon is full and bright Don't go wondering in the woods at night
