White blankets of snow
Everywhere the eye can see.
As snowflakes fall so slow
Where something else could be.
Only hidden tracks could show.
Often known as a ghost
For rarely being seen.
The shadows are its’ host.
Its senses ever so keen.
One little glimpse
At the rare feline
Of beauty so divine.
One would be considered licky
To glance at such beauty.
And to keep it a secret
Is a sacred duty.
For one who lives in the shadows
Can only see the darkness around.
Where every instinct knows
How in the dark one can drown.
The only way one could win
Is to look into the leopard’s eyes.
As it all fades, all the world’s lies
And a feeling deep inside causes a grin.
The leopard leaves in a flash of white
As you depart from his world.
The mind turns bright
Knowing your instincts are yours to trust.

The Voyeur's Incandescent Reasoning
The woman sat nonplussed, in the Waiting Room. In a sort of daze, looking straight ahead patiently. She had already had three small breakfast's that morning and a nip of sherry, this was not unusual she would typically wait until an hour after she took her anti-depressant and was her morning routine. She was merely following instructions she assured herself, shifted slightly in her seat and feeling a little heart burn thought, maybe she should skip lunch. Dom had said to have the task done this week. She was well used to his methods and desired to get this over and done with soon. She glanced at her watch, smiled weakly at the Receptionist who was there for a moment and then gone.
