long chains

long fangs

I stroke his face

He's a monster tonight,

but that's alright

-

the moon hangs low and full

the clouds don't dare touch it

howls echo in the night,

but I hold no fear:

my own beast under my care

-

crazed humanity glazes over his eyes

thick fur bristles at nearby noises

strains at the chains

he looks straight into my eyes

chains shatter and he's gone...again

-

howls and screams

I could practically feel the blood and pain

he won't be back tonight,

but he won't stray far

I'm the only humanity in him

-

dawn appears; the fire is embers

I awaken to the feel of a warm body

it is he: in his naked glory

violet eyes stare at me

" I'm back. " lips linger on mine
