Sustaining the Hunt

Out beneath the moonlight
Kissing until sunrise
Sharing themselves
As only lovers can do
Smell of perfumed harmony
Drifts down from below
As waiting nostrils flare
Flirting thoughts of ecstasy
Wait as muscles form tight
Then just as sudden
The feelings are released
As softly as the wind
Breaking the fleeing moment
Forced back into the jungle
Where only brute savagery
Teeth bloodied ugly bare
Open the throats of the hunted
That lie gasping in delight
The victor winning rapture
Of one sweet taste
gained only for the night
