The Feral One

She said

“Show me the beast

hiding beneath your calm

I want you to

unleash the hunger

you have kept so hidden

Let your wildness

tear through my nights

and into my days

I want you to

expose every craving

and every untamed

thought that I have

I want that you take me

to the edge

where control is lost

And passion reigns

in its purest and rawest form”

I growled and roared

and claimed her

body and soul

Her ravaged form

now curled in my lap

at peace
