Savage suns and savage moons

Send us running through the trees

Savage feast on savage flesh

Surrender to the mounting beast

I said “Yes I’m screaming,

“But I won’t be leaving

“Wherever I go I bring Hell”

[ran-the-cynic]

A crowding sort of creature

Rowdy and unwildy

One that reeks of earthly musk

A milding sort of reaper

Dispossessed of all his dread

An arousing sort of thing

Though it proudly closes in

Slightly drunk and with a grin

A pouncing sort of being

With an instinct there for waiting

Taste your skin and then devour

A decided little fighter

So on fire yet so gentle

Heavy fingers fix and mending

Pull you in and then depending

A monster from the fire of sexes

Hold one down until they’re breathless

Preys on feeling and defenseless

But a slave to all his senses

And we call it by its curse -

Man.
