aye, little wolf cub...

had she found you earlier
she would have taught you how to dance
showed you the law of the hunt
pushed you on the way of the moon

but now...

it is much too late
for you already know most of the steps
you've howled your first kill
and the moon favors you still

and she...

she is too old to go capering in the night

but she smiles at your cubbish youth
and she remembers what that was like
as she leans up against her cougar
and they hear your howl


and they smile and dance on their own...

speak to me
blood to blood
at the cellular level we are entwined

i dream in hazel
that is all you need to know

run little pup
run home to your master
hide under the covers and pretend the world does not exist
no matter how far you run
no matter how well you hide
your problems are following you at your heels
and they will catch you and find you
show your teeth little pup
growl as best you can


and then go for their throats.


you problems can't find you when they're dead...

blue blue eyes
seared into my memory
of a past long forgotten
of a chance that never happened
it's been awhile since i've thought of those days
and everytime i sit back to remember
i think of blue blue eyes
and i wonder

but the past is past
and blue blue eyes
create nothing but a wistful smile
with a fleeting thought of insanity

i return to the present
and while i nod in recognition
to where i've been
those blue blue eyes
were the beginning of my journey
on that long, hard road i've tread
i know


i would not give up my hazel eyes for anything

roaring into the wind
she knows he can hear her
darkness only blinds those who are not born to it
twilight only makes others nervous
i remember it all
i've seen what will come to pass
and i listen as she roars into the wind
and i know he can hear her
i breathe



...continue to dream...

i can feel you
inside my blood
underneath my skin
you are there
always
ever beautiful


you never cease to amaze me
