Your life
  
   A finite thing

so fragile

     each breath an epiphany.

So many deaths

       could take you from me.

A speeding car

        a carelessly dropped cigarette butt

a slip in the tub

          Fate.

Yet, when you laugh

   And I hear all the eagerness

of mortality in your lungs

    The freshness of your short life,

I love you for it.

       I am old

But not aged.

      My life is the ebb and tide of oceans

Yours, a spring run-off.

Your love

        a finite thing...

I loved it...it was lovely.  Unfortunately too many of the 
"vampire" poetry I have read lately has to deal with the
morbid side of vampire love.  I know there are always
two sides to any state of being, but I generally prefer
the more gentle, sadly loving side.  *grin*
