I wish you were a vampire

by Jean Jones


I wish you were a vampire,
And like Lestat in Interview with the Vampire,
Visit me and, attracted by my loneliness and aloofness,
Offer me immortality.
and because I was so stunned
by your offer, I would accept
and in your passion
You would drain me to
the point of death,
every drop of my blood
in your mouth,
down your throat
and I would moan
with pleasure knowing
you took everything of me
in your mouth,
and the last words
I would hear as a human
would be you saying,
"Get ready to see your
last sunrise, for this
is just the beginning-"
