Our Thirst Is Strong

When shades of night are drawn to close As the sun descends to darken the way I am awakened, no more in repose For I slept through each sun shined day I dreamed of when my eyes would open And too, of the hour, when we would meet To then fly from here, my hidden coffin To taste of you, my love, my sweet This vampire loves his mortal mate I have nothing but time to wait, so I wait As our lover’s moon then so ascends We’ll meet there by the garden gate With feelings strong, dare not pretend I’ll wait for you, do not be late The scent of you, I smell for miles The taste of you, my love, is rare As every thought of you, inspires smiles For I, I fall victim to your stare So true, you make this vampire weak But, for love my dear, t’is you I seek

Michael, I've been watching a new series on HBO called True Blood. It is about vampires, but it is also a love story. Have you seen it? Your poem reminds me of it so much. Enjoyed this excellent write. Love, Shar
