Just when my blood had finally stilled,
As my body died, as my flesh grew silent,
Just as my warmth had finally chilled.
Into my mouth flowed a sweet nectar,
And I felt my heart again start to beat,
I felt the growing warmth of my body returning,
The life that returned to me was bitter sweet.
I drank of your substance, I took in your life,
My eyes seeping sweet tears of denial,
When I could see my surroundings, My eyes fell on you,
My mind forming thoughts and questions all the while.
"Why?" Said a voice I knew as my own,
A tone I had not known could be so scared.
Fear clouded my eyes at this question I asked,
As if knowing the answer was somethign I didn't dare.
There was a light in your eyes as I spoke,
It's presence there I found touching,
I pondered it's meaning, it's unspoken thoughts,
I didn't see that it was so loving.
You gave me a smile that was filled with wonder,
A smile on a face that centuries have smoothed.
"I Love you my dearest" Said your voices light tone,
ANd my dormant heart right then for you grew.
You leaned in your face, and kissed my lips.
Reality around us swirling in ecstasy,
I felt the bite of your fangs to my skin,
The euphoria of being drained such a sweet pain.
I raised my head and returned such a kiss,
My own fangs piercing the tough of your flesh,
My own eyes closed in flutters, drinking you in,
My own thoughts and memories with yours clash.
We are untouchable, in eternal embraces,
Our blood mingled, our bodies one.
Not even heavens grace or the devils own damnation,
Can taint this sweet ritual of dark love.
