Walk Through Enchanted Woods

She always walks enchanted wood

Always in her crimson hood

Her lips of red, her flowing hair

Every night I see her there

From a distance, scent so sweet

A cracking twig beneath her feet

Hunger always, every night

Sweetest fruit I long to bite

I gaze on her with eyes of red

Fevered thoughts all through my head

I salivate, my hunger grows

I wonder if she truly knows

Are these walks a tempt of fate?

Alone she comes, and always late

When silence reigns, no eyes around

Is she longing to be found?

To be devoured in the night?

An offering without a fight?

Does she lay and dream all day?

And hope to be my lonely prey?

I lay and wait, cloaked in the dark

My jaws, they long to leave a mark

Embrace the hunt, embrace the thrill

To know her flesh and eat my fill

For it’s the nature of the beast

Within these woods I’ll have my feast
