Zahra

Zahra was a woman and erotically lovely Youthful, beautiful and passionate Xanadu, an ice mountain paradise was her existence Where she lived with her lover, a Vampire, two hundred years un-dead Utterly intoxicating was this man Together they dwelled in bliss Sublime and spiritual was their lovemaking Rapturous murmurs of forever life his promise Quivering, she whispered her deep love Possession and control was his Often he left their paradise to hunt Never-failing to find the red blood they drank Moments of madness haunted her Leaving her life behind was her sadness Kissing him always calmed her dead heart Just before dawn they climbed inside an ornate coffin Intertwined in each other arms Hypnotic was his hold on beautiful Zahra Gentle his cold touch Flawless was their un-dead existence Entrancing and ethereal is how she perceived him Divine and desirable she could not resist Charming her was easy for this dark un-dead man Bedazzling her with whispered words and promises And keeping her, his love prisoner . . . __________________________ September 30, 2015 Poetry/Reverse ABC/Zahra Copyright Protected, ID 15-713-514-0 For the contest, First Ever ZYX, sponsor, John Lawless 4th Place
