You Resemble A Bird Of Prey Poem by Janri Gogeshvili

Your stern look frightens him,
You burn him with your dismal eyes.
The working girls are snatchers,
They adore taming the guys.

A dog’s dream is seldom revealed…
The pedigree-dog snarls at the mongrel.
You adore just obliging males –
The men you can scold and blame…

He is frightened, but your effort
Turned out very skilful and smart.
To his breast, you pinned the passion -
The magic breath of the lust.

You resemble a bird of prey,
You raise a gamekeeper’s skill.
The kisses of a man not so young
Burn you with passion and thrill.
