~Rhyme or Reason

You bleed me as a vampire

attack my cerebral vortex 

spiral twisters of your compulsion

devour me to my core frangibility

once drained, 

you 

    start

          all

                over

                      again

from the top one more time

as though a dance of rhythmic seduction

       is it rhyme or reason

         that keeps me addicted to you

Now this was hot. The meaning of this poem can be viewed in a few different ways, but the way I choose to view it brings on the heat. I know this feeling, I love being drained by love, I love that desire that keeps me wanting more, the ache that pleads and bends the brain into submission. I love your poem. You, my friend, still amaze me.

So happy to hear I've still got it :-)

Bittersweet poetry Frie, for that's an interesting question. I think we poets have them both, as the old wind of Romania drives the vampires at night, and the dark occult moon shivers, by what we write.

Lovely work as always,
Chilling, and profound.

Di niente, mia bambola... xo

attack my cerebral vortex - I see what you did there. I love it.

[Frieda P]

Thanks for your visit and review Daniel, much appreciated.

Taking even thought, an all-consuming love (or lust). The nature of addiction - that we are changed by the substance, though not for the better. Great images conveyed here, Frieda!

[Frieda P]

Grazie mille Rita.

[Frieda P]

been so busy with work Frieda...my brain just gets so tired after half 5 that I even end up sitting in the wrong bus thinking that's the one..only realise that its not when it turns left instead of right! How are you ?

I have always had a fascination with vampires... I think there is a universal truth to the seduction of the darkness they represent. It is about what keeps us "addicted'.
I think there is both rhyme and reason, but I doubt I or many others understand the true complexity of either...
Shall we begin again? I fear so, and yet I anticipate the cycle with a perverse hunger as well.
I like this poem. It lends itself as a catalyst for thought well.

[Frieda P]

'Seduction of darkness' I like that...thanks so much David.

I enjoyed the poem. The words danced upon the page and I like the purpose and reason for the poem. Addiction is good to know and behold. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.

Always a pleasure to see you John, thanks.

The addiction I see in this poem is to the devouring vampire of poetic need to express oneself, over and over again, in spite of the pain and bleeding that it may cause. Veramente molto bello e profondo - complimenti!
