The First Bite

Young girls and dangerous men Lost of self into that mysterious realm Like death The experience of a love that drains Its excitement First bite, the feel of teeth Against the nerve in the neck Wondrous oblivion He was a vampire I'm sure my first A much older man Who led me to his lair Darkness--candle’s light Smokey sandalwood incense How I was drawn to him Black eyes and silver hair We saw each other only In the night He cooked couscous and cassolet for me And never ate His eyes glistened as he watched Then he'd bite and bruise my neck One morning I awoke And he had disappeared Just left me there in tears Left me there innocence gone Shhhhh...My heart still pounds When I think of him Though it's been years Vampire entry
