Gothic Love by Gary Morris

 

Gothic Love

 

A stygian fortress of infernal memories

Crouches silently behind us,

Its spectral turrets illuminated

By the sterile light of Selene.

The dead wings of Abyss

Embrace our pallid carcasses with sensual finality

As the coolness of your fingers stroke my spine,

And the touch of corruption becomes my shroud.

 

Through my bones

I feel the slow beat of your heart

And succumb to its immortal fullness.

Blue blood veins stretch your flesh

And threaten to erupt with

The colour of shadows.

Like a vampire’s kiss

The taste of love coats my lips and

I devour the exhilaration of your life.

 

Temptress eyes with the promise of undying seduction

Draw me in and

I am lost in the miasma of Underworld emotion

That is you.

Your voice wraps itself around me

And comforts the child within – no longer afraid of the night.

Your succubus breath intoxicates.

And the confusion of desire is gone,

I bare my neck

And become a create of yours

Once more.
