Love, Not Lust

Missing image
The Lady Vampire called Desire
haunts me in the midst of night.
Thus I attempt to tip toe through,
refraining from catching her sight.

With each dark blanketed shroud,
she catches me hopeless, unaware.
Casting my body downward,
at my clothing she begins to tear.

Straddling me, she clutches,
my face within her grasp.
Mesmerized, I always reach
to undo her bodice's clasp.

Never failing to touch, to kiss,
I partake in all that I view.
Her razor sharpened fangs descend,
again making their nightly debut.

Once more we are rapturously joined,
becoming one in this darkened time.
Feasting upon another, we give
ourselves over to all that's sublime.

With the arrival of dawn's first light,
you flee as quickly as you came.
The wounds left upon, mark me as yours,
binding me throughout the day, as one tamed.

As the sun begins to disappear,
I long for the coming of dusk.
For each night I drink eternally
from a well sweetened with love, not lust.

    This is quite different to what you normally do, and yet I like it from you. The rhyme is excellent, the comma and full stop are well placed and the pause is used well. It allows us to reflect on the words.

    I like this very much dear brother

    • Thank You Sis,

      I am touched by your words and find much encouragement there. As I always do, thanks for being a sounding board of chaotic thought from time to time.

    This poem is really cool- dark with gothic elements highlighting the theme of love. This is an unique representation. Good job!
