Prey (poem)

Prey

Like a botanical garden in the midst of chaos, your body summons me,
as my eyes gorge themselves of you, I know that this can not be.
Your love, you carelessly throw on plants and animals you do not know,
but for me, for me, you care not to show.
How is this right? When all that I have been taught tells me it’s wrong.
Foolish to care, foolish to feel the love that is blossoming strong.

Like a predator stalking his prey, I follow you through this miasma world, you see as a Nirvana.
This… veneer dimension, you hold so dear, in it I wait to capture you there.
Like a predator I will take down my prey, and adhere to my beliefs no matter the fear.

The opportunity has come and we stand face to face…
lost in your beauty…somehow, I’ve fallen into your  embrace.

The abyss of your love writhes me with pain. The abyss of your love…atavistic and pure…
Release me from your wretched hold, release me I beg, before I lose my cold…
Don’t let me slip deeper into your love, for I know I will lose the things I’ve held above.
