Note: I guess this is quite a romantic poem, and not so angst-filled as usual (though fear not, there is still some there!) It deals with the feelings of a less antagonistic Dr Lecter, probably post-novel. I hope you like it.

TOUCHED

By JetNoir

Blessed am I

to witness your

very presence.

To lighten this

room with your

very smile.

To see your eyes

glimmer: reaffirming my

unquenchable passions.

Touched.

As such my

adoration which spans

the past thousand years…

…crosses stars and sky

to find you

alone and weeping.

For the sky might

open wide and

burn us all to fiery torture.

But that

could never change

a single little thing.

In this macabre

world: do you invite

le danse de Morte?

My love for

you, dearest heart

is true.

For to know the

essence of your Soul:

I am nothing less than…

…touched.
