Vampiress


I didn't do anything today
but I'll leave out tomorrow
I have been napping all day
I must let afterglow
perhaps I'm too alert
thus it's difficult to relax
until I wear down avert
and finally I'm lax
I'm feeling a little bit down
a fellow poet will be absent
I'll miss his faithful renown
for kindness doth raise attachment
I believe I'll proceed to writing
till my hand begins to cramp
life will always let in-sighting
love and light to ease this vamp

I like how you allow your emotions to dance out provocatively.

To me this is not dark at all, Angela. Your words are an outpouring of emotions ... what you feel and miss and long for. ~ Regards // paul

Do I feel teeth sucking my blood? I'll never forget the first time I saw the great film. I could not sleep well until I convinced myself that it is all fiction. ~~

Thank you, Victor. The first vampire film I saw also scared me :)
