A Latino Quail

The night deepens her charms
On the threshold the bells toll
Shadows follow her treads
Evading hushed moonlight sheen.

Yonder bellows the wind 
Werewolf’s sniff their clans call
Clouds play hide and seek 
Terror the night she in her minks:  

Merge shape shifter moves in stealth
Foot print to feline teen.
She will learn to know freedom 
In Bear hugs and captor winks.

Desperation within her slips
 Falter, dodge stare, in my skills.
Victim of vampires, hot blooded breed
She says showing her links

Fangs arch, body surge strengthen 
Arms grip, erosion in her wills.
Soaked eyes fill with tears 
I chain upper limbs see her blink   

Crafty in smiles they pierce my heart 
She weaken me in frills
Transgress into paths of blood luster
Neck clasp for her to pink:

Rages, fumes as face mask lock
Collar her necks poison tilt.
