Bloodblossom

Painting by Boris Vallejo


Bloodblossom

Her lips parted slightly,
like rose petals pulsating,
awaiting the darting Lothario,
the love snake; but instead
there erupted a stabbing pain
as her lower lip split open
and the thick sweet blood
masked the lust overtures,
interrupted in a heart beat
as twin ivory stilettos punctured
the pale curve of her exposed neck
just prior to an orgasm surpassing
all others, frying the hillocks of oblongata,
electrifying the red rivers and tributaries
of maidenhood, boiling every ounce
of arousal to a peak, sprouting
demon wings on a bare back,
drenching blue irises goat-yellow,
splitting her tiny tongue
into a serpent’s stinger, swimming
powerfully toward total darkness,
willingly, lovingly,
without fear.

you should send this to the mayor of Forks and say you want to become their town poet.

Seriously, this is very good.

Tight piece, wounding the bloodlines of the prompt, silhouettes of irises goat-yellow.

Brian Miller said...

def surreality to your words sir...in the spell of the vampire, the sensuality of it, even the pain brings pleasure as life slowly leaves...orgasmic for sure...smiles.

Hot and swimming with passion...I like the lust peaking, then tempering with gentleness ~

Interesting to read a guy's take on these themes ~

Frank Watson said...

Great erotic piece on vampires, and you chose the perfect picture to go with it. Sometimes I wonder if the legend of vampires spawned from erotic fantasies since it fits so well.

I was just thinking that your style suits perfectly the works of Vallejo or Franzetta, and there you are, with just the appropriate picture, and just the appropriate verse. Amazing.

I'll have what she's having. Sort of. Very evokative writing.

De Jackson said...

Gorgeously dark, tight piece. Excellent.

Susie Clevenger said...

So darkly sensual..the words grab you and move you breathless to its ending.

Powerfully erotic. You created an amazing description of the moment of transformation from the sacred to the profane.
