ONE OF A KIND

She walked alone

Under the moonlight

And suddenly stopped

Seeing those eyes

Filled with hunger

And lust they were

Wild, so wild…….

Making her blood cuddle

The eyes now took full

Form, of a deadly creature

Half-human and half werewolf

Advancing towards her

The evil beast pounced on her

Filling the night with her shriek

It grabbed her wrist

And clasped her waist

A satin scarlet line trickling

Down her figure, sleek

It bit her neck releasing

All his venom and pain

Pleasure engulfed her body

Numbing her heart, muscles and brain

The bond was formed

Now she was one of them

With all the bright emotions gone….

She saw it grin

And her heart doth sink

Every day since that twilight

Alas! Had she not ignored

The warnings of the supernatural

The curse would not have befallen

Changing her life forever

But not for better

There seemed nothing

She could do now

But her mind clicked

And she knew somehow

How to end this immortal alliance

That was in no way a trustworthy reliance

She remembered the old tarot

Card reader’s words

“To break the curse of the pharaoh

You need to make a decision

That you might not be able to swallow……

The card reader paused and stared

Then continued with her flair

For predicting the future

Which was known scarce?

“The heart of the chieftain

Must be brought

To the mountain top

On a crescent moon night

By sharp 12 ‘o’ clock”

But the fate was ill

As long back the chieftain had been killed

And the one nominated for this post

Was the one for whom she was the host

That crescent moon night

It was named the leader of the clan

It was happy and rejoiced

But her eyes could only

See in it an evil sham

Anger raged inside her

She had to fight the pernicious disease

She could not wait anymore

She wanted a release

It was right there smiling

Its cocky smile, gripping her in

As if it knew somehow that

Inside she was crying

It was no more a wolf but a human

For it was no more IT but HIM

Moving towards her

In slow motion

His face sculpted to perfection

Was highlighted in the twilight

But that did nothing to change her perception

About him since that daunting night

His eyes had a glint

As the words slipped

Out of his lips

That went down piercing

Her heart that was once

Changed by him

Into an empty rug

“I love you” were the magical words

Making her world swivel

Oh Lord! Those words

They made her tremble

She dropped the dagger

On the ground

And pressed her lips

Against his mouth

And the nimbus cloud

That circled around

Disappeared…….

 Leaving everyone astound

Sunlight hovered above them

Breaking the curse to stem

Light conquered darkness

Clearing the mess

If it wasn’t for her humanity

That hadn’t died

Making her one of a kind……..
