The other day I met my friend at a poetry reading and everyone in the circle was sharing. I felt very timid to share what I wrote because it was written very hastily the evening before.
Time: The night before: We were just standing around and Desiree was sharing some of her poetry. (Which is AMAZING) by the way!) Then a couple more friends shared some of their writing. I wanted to share something too so I frantically put pen to paper and wrote a poem. My friends seemed to love it - but they had to say that as they are my friends! End:The night before
Here is said poem:
Rebirth
I met you a long time ago
in my dreams in the dark
you were calling to me...
I saw you and my heart stopped,
There you were
as you appeared in my dreams.
Scared and in awe was I .
How could I know what was in store for me
That fateful night
When you touched me
I could feel your cold skin
send shivers of ice down my spine
and yet it was hot like fire.
Slowly you took me in your arms
Barely a whisper you spoke in my ear,
"You will be mine."
Then your breath on my neck
It was if time stood still then
a bite was all.
I could feel my life slipping away
but yet
I was not scared
To the brink of death you took me
And then a
Taste of blood on my lips
I was reborn into the night.

The poetry circle just kind of looked at me funny. I guess I should have told them Dakk is a Vampire. LOL
