Forbidden Love Poem by Britney Hogue

The lesser light shines
It’s full as you know
As the conversion occurs
A low growl reverberates
As a beast within awakens

Now you run on paws
And silver white hare sprouts
You give the presents of a hunter
And are completely lethal
To any prey in your way

My stone still heart
Yearns for something more
I dream of a mortal love
But with this thirst
It would only be a meal

I stand by a crystal stream
Illuminated by the lesser
You step from the trees
And stumble on my presents
On this lonely night

I look into your blue ice eyes
Only expecting a fierce battle
But what I find is forbidden by our kind
The love between enemy groups
Blood lust vampire and ferocious werewolf

We hold each other so close
You’re a completely mortal being
But no matter my strength
I could never hurt you
Nor is enemy blood appealing

We know our groups would kill
The innocents in out love
We are different that is all
So we shall run away
The moon and stars our only guide
