Thirst (revision of May '98 poem) The full moon's light shown upon the fields Shadows of wings crossed the dark land In the distance a lonely church bell peeled Shining black eyes the rich landscape scanned In a deep dreamless way the lady did sleep Under warm soft covers with subconscious unease Erotic dreams in her mind then did creep Sighing in sleep, she hoped he would please. Landing softly to human form then with grace Softly through the door he did grip Glowing black eyes in his smooth pale face Long fangs protruding from blood red lip. Scents of lust drew him quickly to his prey Gasped at her beauty soft on the pillow Pale smooth skin, hair in sweet disarray Neck waited his drinking, blood quick to billow. Sucked slow of her life, in dream she released Her moans decreasing as life flowed into him He rose from her bed, feeling so pleased He'd found now his partner, eternal and slim. Waking her limp form, he smiled as he kissed her She gasped as she saw him the man from her dream Returning his kiss, love scenes passed in a blur They flew to his castle over field and stream |

Karilea- I know of her - but I've never read her  thank youPeppermint= (grinning) I think you know I'm really not bloodthirsty -Thanks Tracie - There's a precise moment when a light nip on the neck MAY be appropriate - - but it works both ways - can send one over the edge  Thanks Sharon- When the fangs come out - they're long enough - to surmount turtlenecks so I'm told - Thanks ~S~ |

Hello Wilfred, an enchanting poem. Women through the ages have long been both mesmerized and horrified at the thought of a vampire at their throat. It is a gruesome yet somehow erotic image, and is no wonder, as it depicts the ultimate in sexual surrender. A very skillfully executed piece of writing.
