Incubus

My incubus, dark visitor, draining my love by night, spurning the day; Yours is the shadow time when hypnotic kisses declare love and make promises that dissolve with approaching dawn. My lover, my vampire, shed night's mantle and share with me the day. Face the sun if you dare.

Thanks for the compliment Anton. Would you believe me if I told you I was a 53-year-old grandma who wrote this about a drunk boyfriend who used to reel in at midnight, then go back to HIS girlfriend in the morning?
