Velvet flashes
satin slips
caress over broken skin
softened with lotions
fragranced with sandalwood
desired by man
owned by one party.
Shadow smiles
under lit with despair
glide down the stairway
fairy tale goddess
come here.
Innocence
brokered
sold
handed down
one to the next
rage smolders
soldered red
chocked down with bitter bliss.
Hallowed eyes
grim in death
locked on target
slither in.
Come closer
fetid breath
upon bent neck
death’s close kiss
cold tongue run down
wormwood
bite back horrified shrieks.
Lips streaked
blood red
glide upon the floor
hand to hand
zest for life
reanimated
if only for awhile.

That happens a lot. I think they are unresolved issues or we are channeling someone else who needs to be heard! 🙂💕

Possibly although weird because when I was younger I had fear of being bitten by vampires. Did you know they prefer to bite on the left side as opposed to the right? Things you learn to ensure a vampire does not want to bite me 😂😂😂

It’s exciting when that happens. Like the poem or the character has a life of its own!

Oh no? Your recent work has been wonderful. I’m loving the way you’re capturing the dichotomies of light and dark in your poetry recently. 💖
