The Raptor and the Rapture

By mysticventures

Hungry eyes

starving

Peer into my soul

Feeding on my fear and excitement



Steaming nostrils

flaring

Sear my throbbing flesh

Devouring the scent of my thrill



Razor claws

dripping

Tear into my heaving chest

To expose my pounding heart



Feast well my lover

On this ravaged body

That I may die in ecstasy

And in bliss

    Well you turn things upside down with that last two stanzas! This was bloody and beautiful in its dark hungry way.

    I'm gonna be honest. I thought this was killer, up until the last two lines. You had such an intense mood going, and it was kind of shattered by how flippant the end was, specifically the word "come". That's my two cents. Thanks for sharing, dude. Welcome back.
