When darkness falls and it surrounds.

Emerald flames arrive in bounds.

And through the darkness off the night.

The panther has her in his sight.

Hunting, stalking, circling round.

Padding treads the only sounds.

Closing softly on his prey.

Emerald glowing eyes aflame.

Closer draws the feral beast.

Stalking towards a soul unleashed.

Held in place by dark desire

Burning flames of emerald fire.

The panther moves so soft so light.

Emerald glowing eyes alight.

His prey she stands alone in fear.

Sensing that he's drawing near.

With frozen breath and racing heart.

Her needs have brought her to this place.

Desires tears upon her face.

The panther moves into her sight.

With emerald glowing eyes alight.

She falls upon her knees in tears.

This beast her hunter finally near.

He moves to her with silken grace.

As emerald fires light her face.

She lifts her eyes from ground to beast.

And knows she shall become his feast.

And softly says "my trust my love becomes my leash".

The tears flow free to steal her sight.

She lifts her hands to clear her eyes.

But the darkness there belies.

Has gone her beast with emerald eyes.

She stares into the blackened night.

Seeking for an emerald light.

But blackness covers all this land.

She turns to flee a gentle hand so warm and strong.

About her wrist his fingers tight.

He turns her round and in the night.

His eyes aglow with emerald light.

He wraps her in his gentle arms and whispers.

Never will you come to harm.

The love and trust you gave to me.

Binds me to you as you to me.

He takes her hand and kisses her and wipes away her tears.

Her soul is bound she feels no fear.

For she can feel him near.

And after all it was her heart.

That called this creature here.

She holds him and he pulls her near.

His gentle strength allays her fears.

He holds her now where she belongs.

And on her throat a collar strong.

To show the world that she desires.

To be held forever in emerald fires
