I.
dance to please it
let it kill you
slowly
demanding, careless
of the world
it rides through
and broken dreams
in its wake
II.
kinetic and restless
as if always caged
no matter how big the room is
overload
sweep away pain
in that flood
of elation
III.
underwater predator
waiting to snap
clenching teeth on the
innocent limb
that stepped too far
into the hidden lands
feeling the frenzy of blood
salty red heavenly taste
stinging the thinking mind
washed away and forgotten
bowing to the impulse
IV.
smooth curves
soft scents
liquid voice
wipe reality away
sweet surrender
seek it
forever
wish
to be
held
there
through the night
V.
so innocent
when it catches your eye
alone
begging for help
searching for freedom in you
as if locked away
so innocent
when it calls to you
alone
waiting to spring
and sink claws into your soul
such illusion
This didn't quite come out as I intended. It still has the double meaning, just a little too subtle. Oh, well, nobody else knows what it's supposed to be anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter.
It's looking for a title. I want one that is accurate, yet does nothing to either illuminate or clarify the double meaning.
