Fierce Hunt

A tiger
treated me as his prey,
and revealed there was much to unearth.

A fierce hunt
ensnared my hidden heart,
but I knew true love when caught by him.

His embrace,
caress and words of strength
gave me a brief moment of rebirth.

Naïve Boy

I always believed life would be fair

shame covered me with the filth you sowed

while my moist lips trembled

bruises too stark to hide from the start

I always believed life would be fair

resisted your masculine pressure

I wish I were brave enough to speak

feet dragged in the filth of apathy

deceit drained our desire to flower
