Seducing The Senses (Death and Blood)
It is in the aromatic attraction of blood
That death begins to seduce her senses
She maintained as long as her pulse would allow
But the pungent corpse helped crystallize her vow
As the animalistic began having an overwhelming effect
The veins on her neck began colorizing themselves
Like a revolution in thought by Bertholt Brecht
Galileo came to her mind, as scientists said
" The evidence of the senses is yours to accept "
She tore open the floor boards, began tasting his last breaths
And indeed, it tasted much sweeter as he teetered near death
She could take it no longer, she ripped open his chest
Began sucking on his heart, her tongue was her knife
In this moment, when death did smell much better than life
She recalled the words of her father, the very first vampire
If she didn't follow her instincts, she'd be doomed to a life
As a blood thirsty liar.....
Tony Taylor

❝ Like a [revolution] revelation in thought by Bertholt Brecht...❞ →Is it possible you meant "revelation" here, Tony?
I could be wrong but it makes more sense grammatically.
Merely an observation.
Vampish vampires, sanguine suckers, cool artwork and death...what's not to like?
You do dark well...

Hey DEAN!!....I LOVE that you take the time ........reading poetry is a huge part of the truth when it comes to being a positive part of ANY community of artists sharing and comparing...... in response to your question..... No.....I went with ' revolution ' for a very specific reason..... but you ARE correct........ It makes more sense grammatically your way. ...... but not within the context of the landscape of his life or writings/plays ........he was a revolutionary because he wrote during times of serious upheaval in the world..... and to my mind the word ' revolution' was a one word summation of the man..... even though my poem was about something completely different ....it was just an outre' to make a very minor exclamation point!!......thanx for this my friend!!....... Kings to you!!........ your friend and admirer!!...T xo
No worries, Tony. I get it now.
