What the Hell

I begin...
like a hunter chasing his prey.
Moving in quickly for the desired kill
before she has a chance to turn and run away.
She must feel...
the way of a hunted prey
so desperatly fleeing the hunters will to kill
as he maneuvers into position and reveals
all the precision of his skill.
I listen...
as she speaks those words I know so well
"Slow down James...what the hell ! ! !
Can you wait for my feelings to formulate?"
I wonder...
about the message she will convey.
Will I be a survivor for another day
or will she speak those words "go away".
I must...
take some time to think
yet my mind only registers blank.
May I reveal all the love I wish to share.
A desire hard to fulfil if she doesn't care.
I want to move forward and take some action.
Her beauty has enticed my soul
now my heart yearns for satisfaction.
If she was a lovely damsel in distress
I would know exactly what to do
but if she flees from a heart so true
what can I do?
I must let go...
this I already know.
"What the hell."

Oh boy James!  Sometimes a little lady may surprise you ... you may just find yourself turned into the prey!    Great descriptions ... I do hope it all works out for you, and you get your hearts desire! I enjoyed this safari much!

Best wishes,
/Kit

James, you write from such an emotive threshold... this is a wonderful expression of feeling. Perhaps if you allow your "prey" to approach you upon occasion, she would feel perhaps less "hunted" and more willing to share ...? Good writing, my friend...I love your honesty.

The thrill of the hunt, one is always moving faster than the other, it seems.

Liked this!

jmlee12345,
Very moving piece that you have wrote. I liked it, and that special someone will show up for you. How could they resist someone that writes like you do?

James,

There is nothing like the hunt.  Nice writing.  You have captured those feelings well.  I hope she comes around soon my friend.  Hang in there!!

I love your imagery for this wonderful piece James.  I know that once again you are sad, but as they say........you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.  Your real true love does await you......I know she is somewhere.

The thrill of the hunt is addictive, be careful.  
Seriously, this is wonderful expression and just overall, great work James! Hope your prey turns your heart to mush (in the best of ways).  
love & all,

Thank you Kit, Claire, Corinne, Bill, Lone Wolf, Butterfly, Marina, Paula, and Holly for your warm responses.

I am glad you can feel my hug and equally glad you have someone in mind who can see something in you I know has always been there.

I don't want to be mean
I just want to lighten up the situation
Now James, what kind of animal (female) were you hunting?
I hope I can make you smile

Thank you Moonchild and Monique for the lovely comments..
Monique I am always up for a smile...I would like an Asian woman with plenty of time to share with me...and we will hike, scuba dive,  swim, soak up some sun, touch and kiss, and smile forever...James
