vampire lust - the essence of living

I have idle hands that touch your veins and blush\we are moving in decimals as the day
stretches over another day\wild-grass and weeds rub my shoulder as I sigh and lie in your
embrace\\ I think I just went missing somewhere between your thighs though I do not
mind that when you offer your heart on a platter\I look for poetry in the crease between
your palms and melt into the softness of our love - a sanctuary of blood oaths and crisp
blue skies and bats paying homage to our meeting \ we pluck pomegranates from the
graveyard and give ourselves to the deluge\red is painted permanently on our teeth and
we ravage in losing ourselves to devotion\there's no one in sight - I look as far as my
eyes can see, our  souls are the only one inhibiting human forms and I like how special that
makes me feel\Our limbs dance in the melody this delirium creates\ we gorge to our
appetites and float like vultures set free \ Yesterday, I thought we died in an ending but
today marks another beginning where you and I are living ghosts for eternity.
