Why do you Return
each handful of years
for another lick of my heart?
Does the taste improve
through compounded absences?

Beloved Vampire haunting,
Your acidic tongue (so sweet!)
has crossed my heart
with scars I hold still dear

I plead,
hold your blood-lust ever near
I do not fear your fangs
Come, Symbiotic Longing
Pierce my heart & soul & body
with vampiric need
I bleed
Crush me again beneath
your draining kiss. I miss
Your nighttime flight
into my pulsing streams
hallucinating dreams
you light my fire
Complete the deed
& eat
my beating need
