Hunger can take many forms. Read into it what you will, take away from it what you wish.

Hunger

The hunger

It eats me from within

I scent my prey on the wind

I must not give in

To the hunger

I vowed

I cannot break my vow

The scent drives me mad

I feel my insides clench with

Anticipation

Of the upcoming feast

Just once more

Once will not hurt

Then

Then I will keep my vow

Hunger

Is no more

It is

Satiated

For now.

...Speechless yet again...
Gorgeous poem. It means so much to me, reflecting on my own past, and yet it could trigger the same emotions in someone else, yet for different reasons. It reaches out with the same hand, but gives a ring from a different finger each time...

Thanks! I love the analogy you gave...that's precisely what I intended when I wrote it. I wanted it to mean something to everyone who read it.
