The unseen beast awaits within her core
leashed for now until moon's soul fills the night.
For then veils of propriety slip inconspicuously away,
as the chained tiger within prowls for this night's prey.
Combing the darkness for a mate to satisfy her needs,
using scent of the huntress she is drawn to her target.
As passions are aroused fulfillment is nigh,
this night hunger will be sated, her essence at peace.
For as dawn infiltrates, decorum demands,
until Luna's fullness makes her restless once more.
