Wolf Moon
Beneath the moon
The foreboding moon
Raven tress and bare skinned
She came...
The beast within him
Raged with anticipation
As he sunk his teeth
Into her nape
Blood oozing from her wounds
Sanguine stains across her breasts
Gently he brushes a claw
Against her vapid cheeks
Now it was only a matter of time
Before their species intertwined
A gutteral howl rose from deep inside
She was now part of his blood

Dear Carrie
Now the lights come on and someone's home lol I can still feel you in your words. But you've come a long way. This is an awesome poem
I don't know why but I thought of Wolf Queen for the title. He's after all chosing
Or Coronation of Wolves
I can't see anything I'd change other than the title maybe. But it's always just a suggestion

Hi Jayne
Wolf Moon popped into my head before I even wrote any other words...I'm dabbling with dark and tastefully erotic. Glad you enjoyed.

You pulled it off. It's both tasteful and erotic.

Very specific. Cool read. I’m not great at that genre so it’s both foreign and refreshing. The primal aspect of it is subdued with romantic subterfuge and that gives it a nice balance. Allows readers to access the darkness by illuminating it. Maybe it was the full moon. Now as I’m typing this I’m seeing this as scene in a grand play. Maybe I could draw it. I don’t know, but I liked it.

Awesome if you could draw it. I had images in my head as I wrote it. More to come in this genre...
