FIRE

Pour that fire down

to find the abandon you had buried.

_____________________

Truth In Advertising

I'd rather

you be here

than the emptiness

embracing me,

calling me to bed,

calling me to bed

but it isn't you.

It isn't your body there

waiting for me.

It isn't your body that

will keep me warm tonight.

Shivering in the dark

I will dream of your flesh

holding me,

bringing me closer

to that

we all seek.

The Easy Way

It would be

far too easy

to

simply give in.

I don't.

I court the embrace

of madness,

taking her hand

we dance all night

until she finds

where

to sink her fangs in.

She feeds

until

She has her fill.

Eyes close,

the darkness

conquers the light.
