With lyric tenderness I was seduced and captured

His mouth and mind filling my deprived senses

Prey to a masterful hunter that, maybe, humbly sang a song

Of desire, lust, and love

Then I was slowly bled and fed upon

for my desire

for my lust

and my love

A vampire poet engorged on my vulnerability

now sated, is gone

And as skin and bones

My defiant spirit is wanton

Overflowing

No longer bled and fed upon

Juicy

And ripened from experience
