Snow Leopard
Rest now
lover
climax weary
singed from my searing summer rays
you wounded dove
you famished field mouse
Sleep
Gather your strength
Rise radiant
to winter chill
Glow against the gaunt
tundra horizon
Your Snow Leopard stealth
shall shine
shall gaze
shall prance
gleefully renewed
refreshed and radiant
vibrant and hungry
as a frozen wilderness
Leap, then
bound and determined
your fangs exposed
your claws extended
Rip away the essence
of my ravaged heart
Leave your bloody prints
in a frosty dusting
along with my gutted
memory
pale and silent
as heavenly crystals

A love poem panting with sharp metaphors. Stanzas drips with cruelty and creative tropes, but also sadness. "My gutted memory," says so much. I see some personification and symbolism in this to.
Well done DK.
