The hunted...

With a growl that comes
more than natural... with time
a beast with the shape of man
prowls these nighted streets
looking for prey both succulent, sweet.
Shimmer in darkness
of night dress
caught to luscious form
round of hips, breasts, thighs,
highlighted by translucent wisp
brings the beast to ground
to stalk this errant prey.
Moan of dimmest pain
nails transform to claws,
deep rumble of laughter
hair springs forth from naked flesh.
Full of moon sheds all veils at last
darklighting mans oldest quest
for the hunter and hunted
there's no escape this night.
Snuffing the wind
he drinks her scent
an odd deep earthen musk
not so much like death
but one that life springs forth.
Maddened now by shape and form
scent enough to make one groan
gathers his strength, leaps,
with only one thought in mind
to feel her flesh within his teeth!
*******And of her*******
Atremble with desire fresh waked
hearing more than her quest to slake
in this heart beat so very close
torpid slow, speeding to steam shovel make
deafening her to nights caress
its beat, closer, closer crept
till in one fell shot
she feels its leap
answers back in kind
with lightning speed
fangs her own grown enraged
to sup the life from this her errant prey.
Locked form to form
in hunters dance...
*****Later as moon withdraws****
He feels the need for one last taste
of her sweet lips
with his pressed
ever so very gentle so
as he listens to her contented sigh
night tis slow to close.
