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.

Would you like to hear the Author read this poem to you?
you should send this to the mayor of Forks and say you want to become their town poet.

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.
ReplyDeleteI'll have what she's having. Sort of. Very evokative writing.
ReplyDeleteGorgeously dark, tight piece. Excellent.
ReplyDeleteSo darkly sensual..the words grab you and move you breathless to its ending.
