My Wolf

I have howled mournfully at the Wolf’s moon

knee deep in the snow of a frozen winter’sΒ night.

Grieving the loss of my lover, the fantasy

of he and I tangled in white, cotton sheets

touching forΒ the last time his rough face

happy, content, in love, just an illusion.

It’s complicated, he growled

as he changed into the Wolf and fled.

I have howled, screamed and cried

wept tears that froze on my coldΒ cheeks.

I have walked across a barely frozen lake

stood at the edge of a rocky cliff

searching for myΒ Wolf in the darkness.

Offering upΒ the bloody remains

of my heart to teaseΒ his hunger.

Surely,Β he didn’tΒ forget the taste

of me.

      1. I’m so thrilled to hear it!! I loved it when something I’m reading hits me even before I’ve finished. It’s so great when just a phrase pushes you into the flow!! Wish that happened more often!! Maybe while your rummaging in my Archives you’ll find a few more things that push you into the flow too!!
