SANCTUARY
Sheltered by your arms
My fears diminished
Safe in your embrace
Courage returned
How strange it must seem
That I have found a sanctuary
Enveloped in the refuge
Of Death's grasp.
Soft words touched my soul
Filling it with desire
Fingers cold caresses
Heating mortal flesh
Gentle brush of lips
As passion rises higher
Both damned and doomed
Joined helplessly as one.
Gasps of frenzied breath
Two bodies writhe in craving
And as the rapture crests
His fangs sink deep
Hot blood flows freely
Offered in sensual abandon
And taken with delight
As two hearts beat united.

LOVE'S PRICE
As I lie alone in eternal dark
All I see is you.
I still wear your mark
I forsook it all for your cold embrace
Gave my life's blood up
Just to see your face
And the price I paid. My immortal soul
Was it worth the cost
Will I ever know?
July 1999
