Rest now
lover
climax weary
singed from my searing summer rays
you wounded dove
you famished field mouse
Sleep
Gather your strength
Rise radiant
to winter chill
Glow against the gaunt
tundra horizon
Your Snow Leopard stealth
shall shine
shall gaze
shall prance
gleefully renewed
refreshed and radiant
vibrant and hungry
as a frozen wilderness
Leap, then
bound and determined
your fangs exposed
your claws extended
Rip away the essence
of my ravaged heart
Leave your bloody prints
in a frosty dusting
along with my gutted
memory
pale and silent
as heavenly crystals








Natural and beautiful, just like your boundless scope and variety as a writer and a poet, kitten.
You make me blush in all the right places, HJ.
xoxoxo
This is phenomenal, primal and beautiful.
It’s nice when they have rest, isn’t it? Gives them a chance to recharge.
Oh, you have to accommodate it. That’s why it’s nice to have two, am I right?
I plead the 5th
Very very 👍
Thank you, Peter!
This reminds me of Blake’s The Tiger. Only this one is a ferocious, sensual leopard! Well done, Kitten! “)
You know, sensual is always ferocious in the end…
