The Fox and The Trapper

The Fox and The Trapper

A Poem by Michael Leon Wilson

Round and round you scurry
Always playful always cunning
Little fox meek yet stunning
Either you are slinking or running
I chase you, because you are lovely
I want not to hurt you, yet I am tracking
So fear not little fox I am not hunting
I am trapping.
I am to capture you from all your fears
I plan to take away all your tears
I just must grasp you to gain your ear
Through love and trust i will keep you near,
Theres a Forest
And theres a meadow
Through the center is a river
The hunter cross' it is not your fellow
Day by day I hear his bellows echo
Wreaking terror upon my meadow,
My fox does shrink and shiver
Her tail tucked and her lips quiver
In me forest you found your solace
You found freedom as I combed you coal flawless
My gift to you my fox lies within your confidence
The most dangerous game you decide to play as you prove yourself you are fierce and not the prey,
Upon this hunters bed you lay.
I reminisce of every day we played,
Think of what i taught you everyday,
Now i pray you quick enough to dodge the blade, yet for you i am not afraid.
I have taught you, and you have learned,
You are strong and smart of this I'm sure,
The trapper left your pelt and took your heart and the hunter tries to get your fur to part.
My fox I shall let you play and let you frolic,
As I train myself to blacksmith I'm assembling an armament.
For sould this hunter harm you, the hounds of hell will howl for doom and I shall trap him in his tomb.
I watch over you from our woods, quell the river to prevent the floods, but in thile night you'll smell my smoke,
In the moonlight I grow the most.
Gaze up to see it and you will know I'm close.
Never forget who loves you most,
That in mind I saved you from fear to let your freedom flow,
Go my fox, dont forget to grow,
Meek and sleek, cunning and quick you are sure of, yet believe me, you are stronger than You know.
Prove it to yourself without fears,
For should the hunter turn on you, you will always have a home.

I'm sick with frantic rhymes that can be dark, morbid , scary sensual or just plain strange. What makes me different is I write about anything, with no filter. more..
