He turned away from his lifeless prey-
It had been so different last night,
Vital, animated, her scent
Stirring his primal sap.
...
I spied her, hot and spicy,
And wondered of my fate.
This all could be quite dicey;
Was too much on my plate?
...
Life happens so quickly, it seems,
That what was could be what one dreams.
A snapshot is proof of something that was,
But do we feel its touch because
...
Rhythm, rhyme and me,
Mystic trinity-
Words march perfectly,
End in harmony.
...
It's all there in the book,
Spelled out page by page,
Chapter after chapter-
That first ignition by hot glance,
...
I read that he was sixty-two- so young!
I recall when I had first heard the news,
Long before my years touched his.
I had absolved an old man then,
...
Clutching his teddy bear,
He entered the dark woods,
Determined to show them
That he was a grownup.
...
Cloistered inside these walls,
They were here to do God's work,
Expiate their sins.
