At last we can have our dance, alone
The smell of life is in the air
Your presence makes me feel young
Your flesh so inviting
A bit of pleasure
A bit of pain
Just one bite
Immortal
Dead

This was written for Colleen’s Weekly Poetry Challenge. This week there week a theme of Immortality was chosen by Merril D. Smith. I immediately thought of vampires. Didn’t you? ;) I wrote a nonet.

Nice one Trent🙂

I think the world needs more vampire poetry! ;) Thanks! As often, I was digging through pictures I’ve posted when I came across the altered painting, perfect.

You did a great job. I have never written about a vampire. I thought about that the other day. And yet I love vampire stories.

Thanks. I have written a few but not many. Last week I reposted a vampire story that I wrote 3 years ago for Sue Vincent’s writephoto challenge, so that might be why it was on my mind.
