Moonlit paws drum laughter through the clovered night,
A silver grin behind the chase, all heat and appetite,
The rabbit teases corners, ears flick secrets in the air,
The wolf replies with velvet growls, a promise wrapped in stare,
Grass bends to witness footsteps tracing circles tight,
Breath tangles breath, a rhyme of fur and pulse and bite,
The rabbit darts then lingers, hips a daring sway,
The wolf pretends to miss a turn, to stretch the play,
Stars wink approval, dew beads sparkle like a dare,
Whispers of want ride wind through whisker and through hair,
The chase is artful mischief, a tango spun with speed,
Each pause a loaded silence, each leap a chosen need,
The rabbit laughs in zigzags, a ribbon cut with joy,
The wolf hums low devotion, hunter turned to toy,
Shadows stretch and shiver, the night leans in to hear,
How want can sound like thunder, how closeness breeds a cheer,
A paw brushes a tail tip, electric and absurd,
The rabbit gasps in giggles, the wolf purrs every word,
They circle round a hollow, a stage of moss and stone,
Where glances trade their secrets, where longing learns its tone,
The rabbit feints a stumble, then springs with wicked grace,
The wolf bows to the bravado, smiles widening the chase,
Heartbeats drum like rainstorms tapping on a leaf,
Each step a flirtation, each miss a sweet relief,
The night smells warm and green now, thick with teasing breath,
Desire dances lightly, never rushing into depth,
The rabbit slows to savor, to feel the heat draw near,
The wolf softens his thunder, turns roar into a cheer,
They meet and part in inches, a tide that learns to sway,
Touch hovering like promise, retreating just to stay,
When dawn peeks pale and bashful, the game still hums between,
Two creatures grinning wildly at what the chase can mean.
