She
Broken as crumbled ruins,
Crushed internally.
A wary, watchful, wild hare,
Reluctant to trust.
Having been badly burned
Twice to date.
Stumbling through life
On instinct.
*
He
A pair of tiger’s eyes
On the prowl
Seeking such a one
In the crowd.
The consummate, cool, confident
Apex predator.
Finding her the perfect prey,
He peers fixedly,
Locking onto and holding eye contact
As a hypnotist.
*
They
Approaching, sizing up,
Soon dancing the age-old steps.
Tentatively touching.
Found suitable, they leave
Hand in hand.
*
Kissing, moaning, sighing, consummation
Satisfaction.
No longer broken or alone,
But together,
No longer predator and prey,
But lovers.
Delighting in passion
While it lasts.
