A full moon mounts the vacuous sky
Washed in blood red fire
The desert night holds its breath
Lost in suppressed desire
You cross the desiccated sand
Clothed in lupine skin
Your finely chiseled face - reflects
A knowing wolfish grin
Mesmeric voice that captivates
Whispered yearnings calling me
I am bound by your resolve
Captured - by your untamed plea
Candles leap to life around me
Clothes - vanish at your touch
Shadows dance thru sienna eyes
As you enslave me in your clutch
Warm lips spawn an appetite
Breasts - blossom for your fingers
Moisture washes over thighs
The scent of passion lingers
You breathe the air, inhaling me
And sip my honeyed hide
Then stripped, on knees, you cover me
The wolf won’t be denied
The thirsty godforsaken land
Trembles at our lust
And I’m consumed by cacoethes
With every savage thrust
I wreath as you impale me
Bay at your conquering growl
We die - and live again
Echoing ecstasy’s howl
Time shatters - as the waterless ground
Greedily drinks love’s flow
Till an oasis springs forth
And, flowers start to grow
Patricia Gibson-Little

Eaten by a wolf HORRORS!
Ho, ho, ho.
That wolf did things that I don't grasp or know.
Does what you did require a bib to catch the described flow?
I think I will avoid wolves everywhere I go!
From now on I'll be prone to not let my skin show.
