She no longer calls to the wild untamed
and natural inbred need
to love as then over, over, again
until she no longer breathes.

There is this thing called “life”, you see,
that o’er lays the light of enlightenment
and the burning flame of desire
with a dark and deadly pall
of determined denial.

And she in denial knows to bend low
and creep under this shroud today
but she stands as one stubborn upright
and faces the wrath of truth
hardened to her punishment.

It’s raining today; it’s no wonder she prays
for the light to stream forth anew
and bring into being another season
of loving as then over, over again.

But denial is such that it stems the tide
and halts the sun in its rise
until the natural and wild untamed
lies like a beaten foe.

Such is that foe today, these days,
and until she no longer breathes
the air of life that brings no relief
to the naturally wild untamed!
