FORBIDDEN ATTRACTION

The eyes of the panther keep me awake at night. Pacing up and down my body's most inner paths...



The eyes of the panther
keep me awake at night.
Pacing up and down
my body's most inner paths.
Sensual and mysterious,
playful as a cat.
The temptation to get closer
made me tremble at first sight,
but as the moon changes faces
most feelings do subside.
But I'm hungry for the panther
hungry for its touch.
And in these restless nights
I wrestle with the stars,
until the sun knocks at my window
as another day arives.
A pair of eyes watch me
hidden within my mind.
And I close my eyes in fear
when I hear footsteps outside...
