Chosen prompt is my first line
Kiss me when the sun sleeps, When the bite grows, and seeps. Tongue no longer restrained, As blood from your face, drained. Our tango, twist of fate; Wiggle of charm was bait. Removed your crucifix, And set up candlesticks. Was surprised to see dark In your eyes, like a shark. Cape stopped you from thinking. In a coffin, sinking. Down onto the mattress fell. Now in your heart, I dwell. Your scream, beside the point; Jugular out of joint. When dusk penetrates, fear Aims fangs, quick, like a spear. His beauty was a beast; Doe-eyed virgin, deceased.
