Blood - A Vampire's Love
How sweet it is, but love is stronger
warm, sweet, metallic red
*
i desire
the paleness of your skin
*
pulse of your heart
i want to resist
your beauty just makes it too hard
*
i do, i want to resist
i can taste your fragrance from across the square
your laughter engulfs me
but not only me
*
your summer dress
attracts the crowds as you dance
as you smile and sweat
your fragrance grows stronger
my control wanes
*
yet i resist
as the night dims
and the crowds fade
my mind races to the thought
bloodless for days
none that I enjoyed anyway
*
you end your night
violin packed away
you cross the square
heading my way
i must decide
*
raising my hand
reaching out to you
a dance I say
last on — would you?
*
A waltz it is
your sweeter than I dreamt
I caress your face
*
you look at me
with full permission
*
I pause, and fly away

End notes:
Even bloodsuckers fall in love beyond the flesh.
Happy Valentine's Day

The problem with being a nice person
Who would have thought that being a nice person could be problematic. The majority of people would tell you that’s what they want to be or at least want those around them to be, but as it turns out, what we want and what we say we want are worlds apart. I won't stress or ramble on about how I would like things to be, but I’ll just analyze why this is, I am not sure either if a solution is even possible.

Oooo, this was both dark and romantic! I loved it!
The greatest gift you can give your sweetheart on Valentines Day is not to suck on her sweet heart 😁
Vamps!! Spooky & romantic feel, dig it :)
