Creatures of the Night

Two unlikely runners
Sprint into the moonlight
Both cursed by affliction
All humans will spite

He howls at the full moon
And craves the taste of flesh
The other loathes sunlight
And prefers her blood fresh

They met by accident
Just a few moons ago
Attracted by the prey
They both tried to pursue

Instead what they both found
Is obvious attraction
That thereafter blossomed
To a deeper connection

As the shared nights passed by
Their affection flourished
Unusual, forbidden
They kept their love nourished

Key is to be cautious
Stay low yet on alert
This aberrant union
Must stay guarded, covert

So they meet in the woods
Where the future seems right
They run in the darkness
For love, every night
