~ The Grey Wolf Comes Hunting ~
The threat of pain and twists to despise
The taste of ruination lapped from dreaming eyes
I awake each day to repetition's wild side
The grey wolf hunting my every endeavor
Hell's executioner, poised and adorned in leather
O! Punishment I surrender, arms open wide
I love no beauty from the light retired
I have learned to embrace the pain, so God inspired
Far, far passing, even my drink has grown tired
The grey wolf comes hunting, myΒ pride to keep
Even as I write I recognize, there will be no sleep
O! Punishment I sing, accompanied by flute and lyre
Those who once did flee, today have returned to seek
A strange fashion forsaking, whatever Gods may be
Black as the pit that has somehow illustrated to me
That grey wolf comes hunting and has my soul afire
What of those bloodhounds, the mystics did inquire
O!Β This sweet punishment, has set free my misery...

Fantastic write but, inappropriately, it made me giggle. A couple of nights ago in the UK there was a blood red full moon. A lot of people took pics and were posting them the next day. I replied to my friends post saying "I think I might of seen it, does anyone like venison?......"

My Dear Brother Tony,
The nocturnal moon brings Grey Wolf to me
His eyes aglow, is all I see
With lupine lust, he pins me down
My Soul, his very hunting ground
Love,
