The Hunter and The Huntress.... |

I saw her... There among the trees, so graceful... Walking, not even knowing I knew.. Knew what? I knew she had it all... I could tell by her eyes, her posture.. I wanted to share it all with her.. I saw the smile of her lips... The sensuality of her walk.. The gentle sway of perfect hips.. The words whispered and not heard.. Walking some distance behind her.. Spellbound by the beauty...the poise.. Her alluring fragrance calling me.. My stride lengthened, pace quickened.. The shark, poised to strike....the meal awaits.. The sun glistening in her flowing hair. A silhouette befitting the gods... The fullness of her figure calling.. My eyes could only see just her.. Fifty yards...the hunter seeks the huntress.. Surely this must be a wise prize.. A hundred times a day tested.. The ploys, teases, the come-ons...all thwarted.. What will I do once I am there beside her? What meaningless words will my tongue cast out? Will my mind allow a syllable to form? The softness of her face, only seen.. Let me into your heart dear lady... Surely this man can quench your thirst... For mine own is like the desert dry.. The mirage of you like a waterfall. I need you...or I shall wither and die.. |

I know the feeling, magnus. Sometimes we're like dogs chasing cars....what do we do after we catch one? You say it much better  |
