tantalizing fingertips caress my worn heartstrings
blissfully unaware of the danger in her hands
elongated tips of fangs resting precariously
against awaiting silky skin
breathing slowly, steadily, stealthily
to avoid alerting her of my intentions
mind racing in an adrenaline haze
intoxicating scent of copper and crimson
entrails of emotions running deep in her veins
I smell them, taste them, and wait
lingering over her wasted flesh
still grazing over smooth dark strands
colliding discretely beneath scarlet linen
twilight recedes into a violet horizon
and suffocating temptation
a gentle kiss and teasing invitation
without realising the consequences
lured so easily and completely
just give it all away
seduction is the bottom line
nearing, approaching quickly
ready to succumb but only so far
if she knew what I could do
what a labrynth is this fate
to give up this chance
just to preserve the breath of life
but diving in once more
the allure is much too great
ripping innocence and conscience
to so many tear-stained shreds
shattering and consuming
it is growing late now
as morning creeps up over the skyline
but the dawn is transformed
and twists into an
eternal
unearthly
spiraling
new life
for you
my love
mine forever

I love the portyal of the Vampire, unwilling, but overwhelmed with the desire. Dark and demented, and more importantly beautiful. I enjoyed the piece, and all of it's imagery.
Thank you for entering my contest and good luck<3! -
Very well done very Deep and very Dark very discriptive version of the work of the Vampire.
The last two words.
Mine forever a perfect ending.
Thank you for your entry and good luck in the contest. -
I'm not sure whether I understood the meaning of all the ideas in the poem but I liked
the fingers caress
silky silk
breathing slowly, steadily, stealthily
entrails of emotions running deep in her veins
lingering over her wasted flesh
and
grazing over smooth dark strands....
Well-wrought!
