Puma.... from LadyTr

Oh, night of darkness ebony Embrace me within your arms Cool my heated body with your breath Soothe my tortured soul with thy touch. Let me shed thy day's soiled covering To let my spirit run free On legs strong and powerful With a body smooth and lean. To blend with you in deepest ebony With eyes that see my way With senses that smell night's sweet perfume To answer the voices that beckon unto me. For I am a creature of the night I hunt for pleasures not of the light To feed the hunger my spirit longs for To fulfill the self that dwells within. I travel through the night My journey swift and light Small creatures scurry out of sight They fear at my passing. I pay them no mind They have nothing to fear For I hunt not for food of the flesh Only that of the soul. I've chased through the night And still not found That part of me That one to whom I'm bound. I see dawn's approaching light With even greater speed it nears Alas..another night has come and gone And I am no closer than when I began. Now I must return to day's sad form Tis strength and courage I gather now As a tear silently slips from my eye I stand and face the light.
