"Huntress"

Beauty of a graceful doe,
Shining in wooded shadows.

Long-legged lust,
Quiet, cautious, confidence.

Your cunning spirit,
Betroths and consumes me.

Your kiss, night lightening,
Your breath, a sacred song.

Enchanted partner,
Chosen keeper of the arrows,
In my heart.

My huntress lover,
Devouring her prey.

(c) William F. Stocks 2001

I love you, Deanna.
Always and forever.

I may know the word but not say it
I may know the truth but not face it
I may hear a sound a whisper sacred and profound
but turn my head indifferent.

Thanks Maree, I appreciate your thoughts. I'm still working on this one, though.

I like this whole poem, but these lines were the ones that really grabbed me. This is a lovely and very original love poem.

Thanks Marilyn,
Deanna is my wife and soulmate of 24 years.
So much more to tell,
So little time.

Thanks Melton,
I see from your profile you probably work the oilfields like me.
Shhh, don't tell anybody we live from extractive industry, it might shatter the image. lol
Of course, all the yuppies who drive their Mercedes to debate the plight of the planet, couldn't get there without us, eh?
Is Perrier a fuel?
To echo your comment, and Keith's, sometimes its good to be the prey!!
