Wolftamer

Keep breathing, keep seething
The sky has spoken tonight
Trees stirring, clouds purring
The crescent moon's jaws open wide
Keep carving; I'm starving
Your anger churns the blood in me
Eyes hardened, disheartened
A warm wind spurns leaves, blowing

Over and under me
My eyes and ears are open
You close your eyes and turn from me
Breathing lies like dust and thunder
I wonder
With heart and wings unbroken
I float aloft in reverie
And as I rise abovе, I wander
I wander away

Your wolven gazе won't slight my husk
Your anguish murkens with the dusk
Cold silver washes down your face
Blurs out the lines, wipes clean the trace
Night's shade descends upon the pall
Mist rises; raindrops slowly fall
I raise my hand to tame the wolf
That's slaked its bloodthirst through us all

I’ve seen your eyes for the first time
Like a sapphire rising from the brine
The surface shimmers; your iris glimmers
With the moonlight shining through
The wind calls me and I must respond
With the leaves I recede, am whisked beyond
But when you’re ready, keep your tread steady
And I will find my way to you
