Maps of discovery carved with claws<\/p>\n
Boundaries drawn and scratched on skin<\/p>\n
And within<\/p>\n
Adventure tasted through teeth<\/p>\n
Tearing at clothes and what lies beneath<\/p>\n
Tangled truths gasped unaware<\/p>\n
A web, a trap<\/p>\n
Spun from half discarded underwear<\/p>\n
Patterns etched with firm hands<\/p>\n
On a soft, pale,landscape<\/p>\n
And the white flag risen in surrender<\/p>\n
Is grasped, clasped<\/p>\n
With both hands<\/p>\n
‘Mine’ she gasped<\/p>\n
And declared<\/p>\n
Watching intently as both his teeth and his passion he bared<\/p>\n
In one last bid to save himself from her savage claim<\/p>\n
Before becoming fully ensnared<\/p>\n
A beast about to be slain.<\/p>\n
