Wilderness Personified

I crave your mouth, your hair, your jaw

Your silence and your laugh

I hunt for our memories spent together

under the cold moon

in the weather so mild.

I want to eat away the remembrance I have

of you in me

Harshleen Jammu Photography

like a vagrant looking around

in the mist for his character

I run away from your darkness

for I have swallowed much

as a wolf hankering for flesh

in the wilderness

I hunger for your sleek kiss

your hands full of savage glow

hunger for the touch of your feet

I want to consume you like cashews

and I move around

to find the depth  of your sincerity

when I see you as

voracious as a wild bear.
