Author's note: The following poem was published on October 23th, 2019, in Spanish language.
.-.-.
I was born in the Carpathians,
in the tower of a castle,
like a secret that
must be hidden from the world.
.-.-.-.
I was born nine months later
from a passionate night
between my parents,
a vamphum and a vampire,
during a vampire masquerade.
.-.-.-.
I was born hybrid,
from my father's race.
I came into the world under death risk,
because the law of the vampire demmands
the death of the hybrid.
.-.-.-.
My mother always feared for my life
every time she awaited for my father's return,
whom she loved with all her soul;
she feared that my grandfather would learn about my existence
and kill me.
.-.-.-.
My father came to us a morning;
he brought with him my eldest sister,
who loved my mother so much
despite she wasn't her daughter.
.-.-.-.
With my mother's help
he fought against the family;
he took out all three from that castle
where we were prisoners
and almost died.
.-.-.-.
My father loved my mother.
He loved my sister and I.
He continues loving us so far.
.-.-.-.
It was in that vampire masquerade
where they met;
and it was in that same masquerade where
I knew I had found you.
