- I have a Beast in me.
-
- Sometimes she's a sleek black panther,
- graceful and lovely,
- gliding through the night.
- She's soft and seductive then,
- and makes me ache with longing.
-
- Sometimes she's a playful Persian cat,
- frisky and feminine,
- frolicking through the day.
- She's cute and clever then,
- and makes me laugh with joy.
-
- Sometimes she's a mangy alley cat,
- cunning and quick,
- slinking through back yards.
- She has no conscience then,
- and makes me cringe with despair.
-
- Sometimes she's a haughty lioness,
- proud and defiant,
- stalking the jungle for prey.
- She's strong and awesome then,
- and makes me throb with desire.
-
- I have a Beast in me.
-
- Sometimes she creeps in subtly
- and seduces me.
- Her scent wafts across my senses
- and I quiver with suppressed excitement.
-
- Sometimes she springs from hiding
- and attacks me.
- Her scream cuts through my awareness
- and I shudder with sudden overwhelming passion!
-
- Sometimes she's just a kitten
- and I can control her,
- Even though she trembles
- under the touch of my restraining hand.
-
- But sometimes she's filled with strength
- and overpowers me;
- And I race to the safety
- of the mousehole in my cluttered soul.
-
- I have a Beast in me.
-
- Sometimes she toys with me,
- batting my soul back and forth
- between her front paws,
- Catching it by the tail
- at that precise instant
- in which it would have been free.
-
- Sometimes she burns me
- with flames so high and hot
- that she consumes me,
- Leaving only scarlet embers
- and gray ashes
- in her wake.
-
- Sometimes she soothes me,
- and sings to me softly,
- and caresses me,
- Until I find relief
- from the fever
- and set her free.
-
- And sometimes.....
-
- Sometimes she's Glorious
- and takes me with her
- to heights of ecstasy
- Mere mortals could never conceive of.
-
- Sometimes... oh, sometimes...
-
- I have a Beast in me.
