Savage Heart Wolfman In Love

With unnatural restraint he quells his primal urge

Guarding something of himself; half man, half wolf

Languished captive, no hope of escape

The power of love grows stronger still

Helpless, against his own will.

Inflamed with savage desire

He catches a glimpse of her through the trees

With a wildly pulsating heart he rises to meet her

Unquenched desire rises as he lifts his head high

Sorrow overwhelms him as he lets out his howling cry.

He gazes upon her, his savage heart softened and tamed 

by her golden flame as he beholds her face etched upon the moon

The last line is by far the best. That's what got you in my top ten. Awesome stuff.

Love conquers all, even the wolf man becomes helpless, against his own will... This looks like a contender for a top place Lori, good luck...cheers Margaret
