Satisfaction

The Queen of the Vampires slips between buildings in the night--

She glides like a dark idea you won't admit to...

She is hungry

She is not exactly human

She is there, in the shadows, waiting.



The stars over Norman are exactly seven more than normal--

They are scattered like bubbles in the blood upon seeing one's beloved,

They can stop a heart

Or start one.

The QOTV is a needful girl tonight,

Her nature demanding,

Yet completely familiar,

Like a pet that bites.



Here comes someone.

Here comes someone down the sidewalk, like a drop of blood down the skin of a throat...

Here comes a warm living soul.

Jackpot.



The QOTV feels each muscle tense and relax in the ancient dance--

She feels half primed already, just from anticipation.

The walker draws close, like an omen of the end time,

And the QOTV steps out from her place of concealment,

A smooth soft blur;

She is on her like her next breath,

For the walker is definitely female.



The QOTV goes for the throat,

Bitch to her natural desires, unthinking, an embodied rush of need.

The woman laughs,

Then doesn't,

As they sway into a corner together.

"Baby," she manages between kisses.

The QOTV only makes purring sounds that say,

"I missed you

Only you

Out of this whole goddam world."

Blood can be gotten elsewhere, from anyone--

Right now, the QOTV is all about the Dark-Haired Chick, for that is who it is;

And who is the prey,

And where solid ground has gone

Is anybody's guess.

  4. Dear Tiger-friend!!!OMG! What a synchronicity. Both of us wrote about vampires today. What are the odds? Only, I assure you there is no profound poetry in my piece. I love that last line, "And where solid ground had gone is anybody's guess." LOVE IT!

  13. Excellent work. Deft thrusts of words, suitable to a prey & predator encounter--and what else does seduction start with? Google let me know what QOTV was--but your poem also gave me its own definition. If your 7 stars over Norman ref is to Norman Ok, regards from the Dust Bowl.

  16. Dear Hedgewitch...QOTV is just shorthand so I don't have to write out "Queen of the Vampires" every time. And yes, Norman OK is the home of my fictional hang-out, Danny's Coffee Shop.

  28. This took my breath away. Lots of comments already about the "dark idea" line. I also think the passage about bubbles in the blood stopping a heart is brilliant.

  29. Move over Charlaine Harris and Stephanie Myers. You're QOTV stories are so much more exciting!
