Untitled Poem by Derek Dowie

The Siren with the voice of an angel
The Seductress in a black dress with nothing on underneath
I feel trapped
restless, watching, vigilant, fierce
The feline with a piercing stare, looking straight into my soul
The raptor with talons of steel, tearing into my heart
I feel hunted
alert, afraid, tense, nervous
The sunshine that warms the heart
The moon that waxes poetic
I feel alive
giddy, aware, loved, ecstatic
Let the Dance Begin
