Eye of the Jaguar...

It rose up out of the shadows and snarled at me...,
Murder lurked in its opaque eyes, blackness shrouded it...,
It hissed and growled, as I, stood by...,
Hypnotized by it's alluring jungleness...,
In the instant that it lunged at me, fangs bared...,
I too, lunged through the looking glass...,
And, my horizon moved...,
And I found myself looking at myself through feline eyes...,
Eyes that bespoke of murder...,
Suddenly, my other self took off, as fleet-footed as Hermes...,
And, I, I, the black jaguar, hurtled after me...,
I chased myself until I realized that I was running from my own shadow...,
I stopped fleeing and embraced the huge black monster that stalked me...,
The stalker and the stalked were always one...,
They have been from time immemorial, and will be forever more...,
I laughed hysterically as the feline vampire drank deeply from my jugular...,
And the dark jaguar and I, were consciously united at last...,
Never to part again.
"We're dust in the wind..."
We're all one,
Now, yesterday and tomorrow...
