In the moon’s muted radiance, a feline love story unfolds in this poem by Dhiraj. exclusively for Different Truths.
Beneath the moon’s dim glow, she pounced. His heart full of love, now denounced, Her predatory lust and hunger are fierce. Killed, devoured him who held her so dear, A tragic end, finally true love denounced!
