the tiger and the snake
languidity interrupted
slow slithers still
pupils blacken
an irreversible encounter
short, sharp breaths
thick pulses
shoulders gather
uncoiled urges
a pounce answered
by hardened
squeezes, tightening
tightening
clawed grips
suckled fangs
pierced thrusts sk(in)wards
blood-essence flows
nerves ablaze
entangled limbs
clenched
relentless shivers
a thrash, a shift
renewed growls with mingled hisses
a triumphant roar
arched writhing
then shudders, life released
a gasp before
an embrace of stillness

Like the snake's coils, no wasted motion. You too have wasted nothing here, you've done wonderfully in keeping it clear, concise and fan-fucking-tastic.
Well done Atakti! :-)

You have done a fine job at your first stab at erotica Atakti, tastefully sensual. :)

A wonderfully penned first attempt at Erotica, Atakti. Loved the poem & thoroughly enjoyed the read! :)

Atakti
I am liking this Hun. You have certainly stepped outside the box in terms of Erotica. I am clearly seeing the ideas of power play here, not necessarily kinky etc lol. Something more along the lines of having two dominants in bed with each other, and them basically fucking it out to see who the winner is. ;) Not a sedate type of passion.
In terms of critique ?
I have a suggestion for you. Read Sylvia Plath's " The Jaguar " Her piece deals with "the prowl" moreso than yours. But I think it might give you some pretty good ideas of what you want to focus in on, and what you might want to eliminate. Don't go copying her style. lol You have a very specific one here that suits. Simply read the piece, and let your mind wonder.
Secondly, while I like your verb choices, and some already do suggest erotic overtones. With a piece as "aggressive" as this, I would recommend a few ( not all ) be even a little more " in your face " The idea of incorporating a little urban jungle street language is appealing to me right now.
Hope that helps Hun. Thoroughly enjoyed this.
Now my husband needs to get his butt off the range ! lol ;)_

You have captured passion here.
And I absolutely love the first two lines,
they contrast wonderfully.
A beginning, a middle and an end.
