‘Yellowish-Amber Glare’ by Matt, The Unfathomable Artist

“Look into his eyes, the yellowish-amber stare, blackness from the glare cuts through like Samurai for glinting shine without a care.  Elephant-eyed for fear now grown lest not be spared.  Walks away waiting starving awakened hibernated bear.  Trumpeted chilled sounds through bones with frights that scare.  Patience ‘gainst the mighty grey-skinned bulk, ivory tusks laid bare as world with double heart in anger sulk at loss with all its greedy poaching took.

Those same yellowish-amber eyes at approaching thunders rumble, amok that skin as muddy muck, his roaring teeth that grip neck to slaughter just, eve’ that mighty Buffalo, Eland and Sambar deer unto death and humbled wayward stock.

The speed of cheetahs outrun him not when vehement kill in stalking ground a determined heart to stop.  Attack his cubs and meat is cauldron pot in fire-belly kiln vigorous hot.  Nightly lightening as two steely diamonds blink above-below the Earth in wide eyed scanning know.  Remember halted hyena sought, smashed its back to the dust as a patterned blanket throw.  Severed female in defended pity plight, thus charge five hyenas robust of muscled might that rips dog as bread to dip in spite.  Leopards their vicious claws, track thy will, quiet slow, for wieldy rushing advancing low, tickling flanks before heavy crushing canines final blow.

Lifeless forms in mouth do lull and broken arrowed bow.  Made dead afore the jaw its cranially crooked bone fused to jagged bone less skin doth show.

Vibrating arachnid waits as ever beating heart in patience slow.

Blue eyes white fur as crown that shimmers snow, in fear lack of those whitened swords prancing untroubled seeds to sew.  Cricket takes step back for deaths escape from fangs poised without a sound, as cursed on land it chirpy crow.  Bird songs with stars twinkle spectacular dancing gown in tweeting twirling all around, Atmospheric Jewel from Venus to Mars that minded-meld eager takes-in of dear beheld.

Those early years cast of tree-lined jungle depths.  Days, Weeks, Months and Years the maturity of branches sighing moans, just as wind through Autumnal leaves delighted blows.  Hooves kick.  Cajole.  Near drown and never-ending Earthly mock.

Who really knoweth raging angst hiding as decades pass in the Viper’s venom grasp?

Truly it be unrequited said, ‘Love is my name, A cradle in thy riverbed.'”
