InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Poetry of the Sengoku Jidai ❯ My Wilderness ( Chapter 14 )

[ A - All Readers ]

 
 
My Wilderness
 
I see your eyes
as they trace my scars -
feel your sweat,
wet to my touch -
even as it calls my
tongue to taste you.
Awake in the dark
I smell your fear.
I hear it in your heart beat -
too fast for sleep.
 
Your heart - need you fear me more than I fear myself?
 
I do not feel fear-
only hunger, a deep
primal longing to
fill myself, sating
the emptiness where the
flame would burn.
That which will feed me
cannot lie across my path,
I must seek it, hunt it
until it is mine.
 
Your hunger - is it you that screams in my blood?
 
I watch you strain…
listening to me prowl you,
inhaling your fear, salivating
for your skin.
Your instinct calls to mine
and you run - the
sharp scent of adrenaline
spiking the trail behind you.
Legs and arms pump past the
shadowed leavings between us.
 
You know - is your wilderness different than my own?
 
A swipe and a tease
and you are trapped,
retreating before my crawl -
urging me over you,
pulling me down.
Our drums beat in my ears,
pulsing me in you, filling
you with my hunger
until our void cries its release -
and the emptiness is consumed.
