Amber skin
sunflower hair
long, below your shoulders
yellow goat's tuft
completing your mane
Oh, my tawny lion
Like a writhing snake
you shed your denim skin
revealing a second, darker mane
and your long, lashing tail
growing longer as I watch in awe
Oh, my tawny lion
You growl
You pounce
You pin me to the ground
You claw
You bite
I moan
Oh, my tawny lion
Infidel
You desecrate my temple
it hurts
it hurts like Heaven
Oh
mY
TaWny
LioN
you ROAR
You lick the blood
from where your claws
raked my shoulders, my sides
Down, down your serpant tongue slithers
you growl happily
devouring me
as I beg for mercy
and for more
