Camoflage

She stalks electron jungles
Seeking Cyber prey
The vigilant predator
In search
Of unwary hearts

She is voracious
An antipodean tigress
Stunning and seductive
A feline beast
Feral in hunger

Pangs of desire
Goad this creature
Impelling her quest
Only fresh slaughter
Can satisfy her lust

She slays without mercy
Returning not
To prowl familiar territory
Old kills insipid
No challenge the vanquished

She hunts in many guises
Her quarry to confuse
Puma, ocelot, jaguar
By night transfigured to ebon panther
But at her core a cheetah

What matters the form of her victims?
All in her midst will succomb
Helpless to resist her exotic allure
Drawn to a beam
That conceals treacherous fangs

And no safari master
Shall ever mount this prize
For she is the deadliest of chimeras
A woman ostensibly naked, but in truth
Wearing a mask over her heart
