Waiting on the Moon like a Kid waits for Christmas. Knowing the chain unleashed will join us. Freeing the Beast I smell the fear. A body's fluid release as I creep oh so near. Hiding with clothing in your mouth. Suppressing the urge to scream, a tear drops on the ground. My senses tripled, hearing the solitary sound. Crashing on the leaves my attention stops on a dime. Knowing I'm near, slowing inevitable time. Stalking you, my body becomes tense. Knowing nothing can stop me, your mind forms a mental fence. Like a dear, survival is vital. Your heart slows down as shock takes control. Feeling your blood pressure, my steps towards you on patrol. Leaping to save yourself, you burst into a run. My smile lengthens, time to have fun. Sprinting to the front door, you think you make it in time. Half a second behind you as the grandfather clock does chime. Bursting through the front door, you can't take it anymore. Flopping on the bed with appendages in a defensive spread. The clock chimes its last round before my ear hears the sound. Mid fight my form does change, seeing your face frame by frame. As the animal inside vanishes, the Man in me becomes aware and banishes. Closing my eyes as my body shall commit. Acknowledging the animal inside I sense your primal defense. Changing form, i must confirm. The tables do flip as I'm in your grip. I should've known your eyes in the Moon. Waiting for the last half second that spelled my doom. Everything I am I see in your gaze. My Wolfs vision looking deep in your soul. Tasting my blood as you devour my flesh. Giving you control, I put love to the test.
