Stalked Chased Hunted
Ground cracking beneath her feet
Air heated and misted
Body tormented and twisted
Her breath lowly humming
Her predator is drumming
Traced Tracked Shadowed
She knows he is coming
Must she keep running?
His pursuit is impassioned
Hewn by lunar crimson splendor
He wants but to love her
Not place himself above her
Their hearts are afire
Yearning deep desire
He draws himself closer
Near enough to reach out and touch her
Captured by her radiance
A magenta maiden
A ruby fruit jungle
Her heat a vermillion feast
Seized Surrendered Suppressed
He lays his head low in defeat
Building A Life Of Hope 
Love the rhythm and pace of this one, it builds up to an almighty crescendo, just like the story inside your poem!
Thanks Neens! I was hoping to capture the meaning of Blood Moon as seen through a slightly erotic piece. These free writes have a way of taking me to places I never thought I would be able to write about!
Love the story and the passion and the hunt within and the ending of defeat for him? Great writing and great to read. I really like this one! Thank you Kim!
I am so glad you liked it Mark! The question of “defeat” could hang in the air but I suppose it could be based on the reader’s interpretation of the story or even the definition of defeat as it is written here… 🙂
I love the rhythm as well as the suspenseful feel to this one! ‘Defeat’ can definitely be looked at in various ways according to the reader…I see it as the woman’s final submission to the passion that he holds for her and the excitement that he has while on the hunt has ended- very nice work!
AAh thank you! I love the fact that my readers are interpret this piece differently as well! 🙂
Hi, I just read your replies – I find it so exciting that doors opened up to you that you didn’t realise existed. Wonderful take on the prompt. I could feel the lust.
Oh wow! Life is well full and good even with the potholes. I am so grateful for finding a creative gift that I never knew existed. Glad you had a positive experience with the poem! 🙂 🙂
