Forbidden Love- 'Demon Boy'

This was written sometime in the latter part of the year in 2003. I had just read Cresent Moon, a 6-book manga, with an interesting plot that seems to end too soon and abrut, but nonetheless good.

I wrote this concerning a young women in love with a demon. Though many of you think of demons as creastures of the devil, there are many types. So instead of being bias and stop reading this please hear me out.

In many japanese tales, demons were evil creatures that terrorized human villages, some of them more commoningly known as oni, big black spirit like creatures.
In other tales however, demons, as they are still refered to, are helpful or misunderstood element or animal posessed spirits. That are capable of human emotion. ((As with Inuyasha and Cresent Moon..etc.))


This story poem, tells of a forbidden love between a princess and a demon boy. For background information, this love was a secret, but eventually had to come to an end...a tragic end.
Her father caputured the demon, with the princess's nurse's help. Instead of meeting the demon as planned, the nurse locked the princess inside while her father, the demon off of his gaurd was captured...
This tells the story, after all this has happened. And the demon boy has escaped far away...

Enjoy...
