Wolf and the Dragonfly

He is a wolf
And I, his dragonfly

During the night he stalks his prey
Relentlessly pursuing until the light of day

His emerald eyes burn with a rapacious greed
Determined and focused regardless of how I bleed

I have wings with which to fly
Instead I hover, ever nearby

For he is my wolf
And I, his dragonfly

He lures me with little remorse or shame
His goal to bring me ever closer to the flame

He watches as I flutter near the fire
Dancing on love's razor wire

We remain locked in an eternal fray
One forever seeking, the other soaring away

For he is my wolf
And I, his dragonfly

With sweet intent he entices me into his lair
His scent, touch, kiss are more than I can bear

I try to unfurl my wings and fly to the sky
Desperate to flee, unable to utter goodbye

For he is a wolf, and I was his dragonfly
We can never be, no need to question why
