The taste

that burns my throat.

Such taste . . .

sweeter than honey

richer than wine.

The life-giving liquid

that flows through

Man and beast.

I see the petrified look

on my darling's face.

Such innocence,

Beauty, and grace.

She gave me a meal

Worthy of the kings.

Her body so still and pale.

No remorse

only regret

that I didn't save her to last

"My darling"

I whispered

"I could have kept you."

"How of an easy task that would be"

Licking my fingers clean

enjoying

and savoring,

The last drops.

It is a shame.

Her death has to be this way.


Second poems. I am very proud of this one.

please don't nag me about my grammar or poem errors.
