The Chase



I chase her in the wind
Her scent rides the air
I hunt in all four winds
I smell her now I swear

Running steady forward
Running hard and bold
I push my strides rhythm
As her scent chills to cold

I'm cold
I'm so cold
I will smell you soon

I smell her in the forest
The night is wet and warm
She dances with raindrops
In the winds of the storm

Her scent caresses my cheek
On my lips she tastes so fine
I cross the misty mountains
I smell you close you're mine

I'm warm
I'm so warm
I will find you soon

Her scent guides my path
I doggedly quicken pace
I cross the bridge running
Relentlessly giving chase

I see a figure in the shadows
The majestic mountains cast
My heart is pounding faster
I'm closing on her at last

I'm hot
I'm so hot
I will have you soon

Alone in the broken moonlight
Her soft eyes look to meet
I need to drink her breath
To smother in her heat

As I approach her hungrily
I see her brown eyes open wide
As storm clouds free the moon
I see beauty the shadows hide

You look so good
You smell so fine
You taste so good
I'll make you mine
 
Our flesh melts together
Two bodies move as one
Under the passing moonlight
We ride before the sun
