Deadly Dance

Dancing with the wolf on a moon lit night
Swirling shadows in the pale moon light
He in his tuxedo, she in her gown
His leering smile, her fearful frown
Eyes locked in a hypnotizing stare
Claws caressing her neck, muzzle in her hair
Dancing to some dark macabre tune
Deep in the woods under the full moon
Beauty dances with beast on this fateful night
She must flee, he must bite
Dark music shattered by his howl unseen
This deadly dance ends with her mortal scream
