Pantera

Silently padding through the gloom
in a veil of dripping mist
yellow-green eyes glint in the dark
reflecting soft rays of the moon.

Velvet fur, shimmers in unearthly light
iridescent, phosphorescent, shivering with life
Silent intent, and secret determination

disappears as a hazy illusion.

An earthly creature, with supernatural alignments
One not born of ths dark skin...
A chosen path, rather, a personal epiphany
a move to discover the beast within. 

Graceful and deadly, beautiful, mysterious
diliberatly powerful, yet no evil intention
Meditative, restless, and content to wander
nothing can contain this spirit.

Vanishing swiftly, only to reappear in the silver light
sharp eyes gaze deeply from the darkness
Then gone again, like flame and wind
a shadow dissolving in the night.

 

Author notes

Well well well, it's been a loooong time. I have had nothing to write lately, unfourtunately work and the stress kills my creative mind. I don't see that this is much good, but it reflects how I am feeling at the moment. I hope that it is enjoyable, and I fell there may be more to add later.

Please tell me what you think

    The piece make more sense when one considers it a reflection of your feelings. I reread it with that view, and it came alive for me. Your imagery is beautiful and suggests that the beast will not be contained much longer . . .

    This has one typo

    Though I`m not fond of cats or free verse
    I must admit that I have seen worse
    To epiphany might be too long
    At the very least the cat is gone.
