Predator's Pride And Creature's Comfort

Predator's Pride And Creature's Comfort

A Poem by ~VertoAtrum~
"

My inner spirit animal puma coming out in her emotions towards my boyfriend. That side of me was still in love with a former lover, and the gentler side of me, a house cat, was trying to make peace.

"

 

Understand completely, do not turn away, human so high strung,

He is my property, so if you wish to keep that agitated tongue,

You’d do best to keep it behind your teeth

For he is my sword, and I am his sheath

 

Now there, creature who is seemingly more agitated than he,

You must stop and realize that there is more than it seems,

This isn’t simply tied seams,

This is love, yes, yes, indeed,

It is not in my intention to own the man I see,

For it is him who, instead, very much loves me

 

I am not owned like you, instead I am half off the bond’s control,

Like animals in a wild pack, both of us must always know our role,

He is the fire that fuels my violence yet tames my fury,

Conflict is worthless to ponder with this foreign enemy,

This man before me thinks he can stand between me and my own,

Long ago was the contract between him and I sewn,

If he speaks ill of him one more time or attempts to gloat,

I will not hesitate to bury my claws strait into his throat

 

You words are simply aggression laced thickly with your neglection,

To me, he is not a plaything, one night stand, slave, or possession,

Showered with my loving attention,

We are a bond of ultimate affection,

Whether I stay or betray is not even a question,

I am his best friend, and devoted, loyal companion

 

Foolish are your words, like a child’s they so weakly whine,

To this foolish man, you are tied on a pathetically short line,

Does he tighten his grip, hide you from the world,

Can’t you see, your bleak future is slowly being unfurled,

You once had your true master right in the palm of your hand,

Like it or not, he has permanently left on you his brand,

Compared to what you had, your morals have severely decreased,

It would be no match, your prey would be torn apart by my beast

 

You do not understand yourself, utterly confused by your pride,

You say you are not owned, yet obviously you are taped his side,

There is nothing worth it to hide,  

Your old habits have, at last, died,

It is hard, yes, but we can take this process together in stride,

It has finally been decided that we must tame the beast inside
