LONE WOLF

wolf howling
lone wolf
bowels bellowin
his loneliness
his pain
a cry echoing in a dark, empty sky.

My dreams, my yearnings,
clothed in flesh and blood.
She-wolf, wild, untamed
stood motionless
her stare transfixing
from deep within
my mirror image before me,
my heart fluttered,
dropped to my knees,
head bowed.
Sweet love that might have been,
but because I could not hold her gaze,
she vanished.
But for a moment,
we stood outside of time!
