Primal

Meet me forever
where loves intertwine
My ever full cup
Keeps me drunk on your wine

Clouds roll exposing
Pale light of your moon
Now I’m shapeshifting
My senses in tune

I smell and I taste
Your breath on the air
Quiet and confident
Lacking in fear

Query now sight locked
I’m in for the kill
So long until next time
My cup needs a fill

Hi, Tim,
I am not fully certain of the intent of the poem, but it absolutely feels primal. I am intrigued!

Yes!

That's primal! I especially like using "shapeshifing." It adds to the imagination. A wild final line.

I thought of...

the shapeshifting as tuning your senses to the right mood, like a mating pair, instead of wild impulsive ravaging. Unless of course, that is the nature of the beast. Interesting thoughts! Your title brought me in, the pace was fast, and the theme intriguing! ~ Geez.
