an angel of death
I float through the night
until I'm by your side
you welcome me
eyes locked with mine
as we dance in the darkness
snow swirls around
like faerie dust
and reality disappears
I caress your face
and taste your lips
my hand cradles your head
as you lean towards it
like a grateful cat
closer I move
my mouth by your ear
and whisper, as softly as silence
"fall" I kiss you gently
"on your knees" again
"and hear" my tongue
brushes against your skin
"the angel voices"
you moan, barely audible
"O, night" closer
"divine" I pull you
tighter, closer
no distance between us
"O, night when
christ was born"
my teeth – so gently –
pull your ear
nibbling as you breathe a little harder
"O, night"
breathe a little faster
"divine"
my mouth moves towards you neck
as I lick my teeth
"O, night..."
I feel you take a sharp breath
as my teeth enter
the soft, beautiful flesh
of your neck
and you moan again
a little louder
as I drink your innocence
