The Overpowering Desire

The Overpowering Desire

This perplexing obsession, 
for the crimson ecstasy.
To feel it's glistening pleasure,
to taste it's sweet supple sustenance.
My dangerous habits
become undying devotion
to my scarlet savior.
It's all consuming power,
forcing my every thought and emotion.
I am it's puppet,
it's slave.
Giving me temporary relief,
from this creature inside.
I have no choice,
but to abide by it's rules.
It has engulfed me,
and changed me,
and it's reign will never end.

Good god another blood sucker... jeesh. Vampires are horrid creepy things like Nosferatu not some glamorous ding dong like twilight. Now that aside I understand the greed for need for need for blood. Not a bad poem

A beautiful, albeit terrifying description of addiction. You love it, hate it, need it, fear it. Very well done, Tony. I love you, hon.

Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
