This was a rollercoaster of words! Spooky, I enjoyed this.

>(Dedicated to "The Wolfe")
>The pen on paper moving thus and so
>Takes me sometimes where I would not go
>And therein lies...The Wolf
>
>A growl, a nip, a shake of tail,
>A howl, a cough, they take to trail.
>Night dark shapes, their shadows fleet,
>The wolf has come, hide 'neath the magic sheets!
>
>Eyes burning, hot coals, the firelight,
>Hell hot breath, a snap, a bite,
>A lance of fire deep in the brain,
>A desperate cry, a searing pain!
>
>Confused images, moving to and fro,
>Hot salty taste, blood on the snow.
>Images burning in black and white
>The wolf is come, beware the night!
>
>Musty smell, a strangely familiar scent,
>A howl, a bay, on trail they're bent!
>Dim memories, confused images, something's wrong!
>Ah.... the pull of the moon, it's so strong!
>
>A dim longing, a past, pain resides,
>The pack calls, push it aside.
>The stalk, the kill, the fatal bite,
>The wolf is come, tremble with fright!
>
>The frenzied bloodlust, the prey, the fight,
>Fleeting shadows, the moon, the night.
>The fevered brow, the sweat, a sound,
>Torn clothing, confusion, blood-soaked ground!
>
>The longing, the lust, the stealthy creep,
>Dim awareness, remembered pain, blessed sleep!
>The terror, the leaping, running unbound!
>The wolf is come, beware the pentagram!
