Listening to the Wolf


I sat next to a wolf today

And could hear clouds pass overhead

I stoked it gently on the neck

And this is what it said

Kiss only the lips that move you

Touch they eyes of those you love

Show your heart to her so she know it true

Give her pedestal and place her just above

Don’t kiss her just in lust

Just kiss her with your soul

In time she’ll learn to trust

Her mind is but your goal

Don’t be scared to take her hand

And to lead her in your ways

Show her you’re alone but not a one man band

Enjoy her gentle touch and listen to what she says

Show her both tenderness and passion

Admire her from top to toe

Never give her love on ration

Just give her water to make it grow.

When you imagine her lying naked

Don’t forget just who she is

She is something sacred

Cover her and gently place your kiss.

Take her above the mountains

Let her touch the moon and stars

Wash her hair in fountains

And wish away her scars

Do these things each and every day

Or at least as often as you can

Then rejoice when she turns to you and says

You listened to the wolf today

For that you are my man.
