Leap of Faith

I hunger to run alongside you  
In stride by your inspiring side  
I want to taste your dripping verse  
And dig my claws deep in your words  
Granting nourishment for my starved mind  
Let me blend into your tame forest  
To become a scene in your bold painting  
Though I roar each time I catch your scent  
I promise not to eat you alive  
Instead I wish to learn how to live  
My heart betrays the tiger stripes  
Sewn in the fabric of my tapestry  
My desire is no less ravenous  
For our passionate rendezvous  
To explore the jungle of creation  
Breeding heartbeats into a brood of poesy  
My thirst came first for your ink to quench  
Witnessing the beating lyric in your eyes  
Untamed hunger fueled my ferocity  
With yearning I leapt into your mystical world  
To sync your graceful stride with mine  
Painting with you a bigger picture  
Defying claims we can't run in unison  
Portrayed by those who say I'll devour you  
Who grasp not what tickles my appetite  
How the dreams we crave and dare to chase  
Simply attain harmony with a leap of faith
