Tiger Love

Napping heavy on the sleepy earth, long breaths purr into the dawn of morning,

Life twitches along the rise and fall of the breast and belly stretched langouriously beside me.

He prowls toward my dreams and wakes them with a wide yawn, exposing the sharp tenacity of his desire to feast.

He rises and rests a heavy paw on the pillow of my skin. A dark iris fixed on red rivers beneath my flesh.

Suddenly he pounces, and I am peirced, quivering beneath the weight of his hunger.

Conquered love coats his claws, and runs sticky down a bristling coat.

He pants upon my exposed core and prepares to devour me whole.
