What love?
The love of lovers forced apart
By fate’s cruel hands;
By responsibilities opposite.
Such a pure light radiates from one,
Darkness looms over another’s every move.
Never has an attraction between two immortal souls been so great
And never has temptation been withheld.
His beastly form
The evil inside of his very core
Is lighted only by
Her silken saintly touch.
Her angelic beauty
Transcends through all the heavens
Yet though her heart is pure
She would risk her wings for the sin of his dark love.
One moment this day is all they need
To hold each other and feel love between them radiate.
The demon never cries, nor begs for anything;
Yet he would beg to change his form if only one kiss from the angel be given.
Both are willing to give their all without a second thought,
But each know they would be forced apart
Their free will stripped
And their love forever lost.
To hold each other now is all they can hope for
To know the other loves them is all a being could need.
Others are left blind to this secret love affair
Yet when each one holds the other, they know their love is right.

I really like your poem, it reflects very closely to my own thoughte of the picture.My thoughts in judging a contest are; I won't judge it as if I were an English professor because I'm not. I can only judge on how your piece makes me feel, and how close you are able to come to what I felt when I look at the picture. You hit a home-run with yours. Again Thank You
