i want to awaken your wolf instincts

that lie just beneath the surface

of your gentlemanly ways

*

i want you to cherish me by day

and ravish me by night

*

i want to stoke the fire inside you

as you burn through me

*

i want to calm your mind

and worship your body

quench your thirst 

and satisfy your hunger 

*

i want to love you

unyieldingly

voraciously

intentionally

make you wild

and reckless

*

i want to be your peace

your muse

and obsession

*

i want to invoke your savage

release your lust

untamed by desire

surrender fully

*

tether me

bound by truth

and passion

that breaks me open

*

you are my treasure

and torment

attached by craving

liberated by devotion 

*

i want you

to wrap me in your strength

stand beside me

unflinchingly

enchantingly 

protectively 

*

love is fierce and fragile

steady and fleeting

a dream and a promise

that made the wait worth it

*

are you finally here?
