My love was a tiger
it chased you down
and ate you, raw
It consumed you, limb by limb
lingering over your eyes
relishing your beating heart
You became part of my body
ingested and nutritious
you fed my desire
Striped and sated, I slept
your sweet life still pulsing
inside my belly . . .

Wow! That quite a ton of raw energy in these lines! While nature continues to push itself into your lines, this is the first time I have read so much of passion as well. Good Change Sue.
Thanks Rajesh. :-)

Love the rawness of these words & images and how you've communicated a powerful urgency. Just great.
Consumed by love...literally! I liked the "in-your-face" directness of this. Very good. vb
