Gentle Beasts
by, SomeGuynDC
Let me watch the autumn air
raise goosebumps in the cold
as breezes coat the forest floor
with leaves of red and gold
arouse me like a rutting buck
awakening animal desires
entice me with inviting scents
ignite all my seasonal fires
seek me out amongst the grasses
share the warm instinctive show
accept this seed within your body
where it’s ripe for fruit to grow
are we now so far from wild
that we have lost our mating call
shed the culture for the passion
seek the sensual lust of fall
growls and hisses bites and scratches
we release the beasts within
somehow found in autumn’s freedom
we are animals again
this is a good place to start.
