Tigress

Beast are you sleeping?

I gaze upon your beauty, gently entwining my body with yours

Wrapping your limbs in mine

Feeling the softness of your fur 

Hearing your soft, slow, rhythmic snores

In your throat the deep rumble of your purrs

Beast are you sleeping?

I gaze into your face as your ears and whiskers twitch

I try to imagine your dreamscape with the colors both vibrant and rich

Do you run through the tall grass wild and free?

Or do you leap high into the air off of a narrow precipice splashing down into a clear, blue lagoon that's fathoms deep?

Yes my beast-weary from the hunt,  exhausted from the chasing, drained from the raging-sleep

And dream of whatever it is slumbering beasts dream

Until the time you are called upon again

Sleep your sweet, peaceful slumber

While I stare at you in awe

Eyes misty, oogling you with child like wonder
