    A Marriage Made in Blood

    You come in the night with your murderous song,

    A song of desire for me.

    A song filled with love, a song filled with blood,

    With bittersweet ecstasy.

     

    You approach as a shadow on a moonlit night,

    but I don't want to run or hide.

    I sense the danger but it appeals to me

    To be your deathbed bride.

     

    You embrace me in the dark so sweet,

    I feel your lover's bite -

    The pain is passing, for all I want

    Are blood-filled dreams tonight.

     

    A murderous bride for a murderous groom,

    Blood is all I see.

    There is blood in every dying rose,

    And we'll drain them eternally.

    Nice dark write filed with passion and suspense. I see that you have embraced the dark side.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
