The Valkyrie
By La Belle Rouge

she had a hidden animal nature
and a wild streak that ran
through the foundation of her soul
to the apex of her consciousness
she loved summer night sounds
and bold night moves
the cool feel of dewed grass
beneath her naked back
and a sensual evening breeze
kissing her bare hot breasts

she wanted to make love
at noon in a wildflower meadow
and ride a fast fierce stallion
at midnight near the courthouse steps
she wanted to make a memory
on that rock ledge three thousand feet
above the mediocre valley
where luminous eyes of night creatures
stared out from frosted bushes
at the steam rising from human flesh

she was a wild one, a child of nature
with no shame of the charms
and all the erotic secret wiles
god gave woman to please man
she would conquer the ferocious beast
within flesh and heart of her lover
but only a man wilder than her
could ever hope to possess a nymph
only the most heroic warrior
could match the passion of the valkyrie
