Linger a While



V..oluptuous perfection, he watches

A..s she dreams of

M..ansions and ball gowns, he 

P..lots his next move, a plunge deep

I..nto her soft white neck, his pulse

R..acing, hardening he cannot control

E..very fibre of his being on fire

S..leep my beauty, sleep

    Very vivid descriptions of the vampire's kiss. He enchants even their dreams...

    "I must love what I destroy and destroy the thing I love" from "Moon over Bourbon Street" by Sting.

    My first thought in this poem, where I almost feel pity for the vampire.

    It gets eerie thinking about the impending move of the vampire. A sleeping beauty is fair game in most vampire stories. Great, Helen!

    The tension before the bite. How fun! And wonderfully disturbing...
