InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Poetry of the Sengoku Jidai ❯ My Wilderness ( Chapter 14 )

[ A - All Readers ]

My Wilderness

I see your eyes

as they trace my scars -

feel your sweat,

wet to my touch -

even as it calls my

tongue to taste you.

Awake in the dark

I smell your fear.

I hear it in your heart beat -

too fast for sleep.

Your heart - need you fear me more than I fear myself?

I do not feel fear-

only hunger, a deep

primal longing to

fill myself, sating

the emptiness where the

flame would burn.

That which will feed me

cannot lie across my path,

I must seek it, hunt it

until it is mine.

Your hunger - is it you that screams in my blood?

I watch you strain…

listening to me prowl you,

inhaling your fear, salivating

for your skin.

Your instinct calls to mine

and you run - the

sharp scent of adrenaline

spiking the trail behind you.

Legs and arms pump past the

shadowed leavings between us.

You know - is your wilderness different than my own?

A swipe and a tease

and you are trapped,

retreating before my crawl -

urging me over you,

pulling me down.

Our drums beat in my ears,

pulsing me in you, filling

you with my hunger

until our void cries its release -

and the emptiness is consumed.
