It is in the odorific attraction of blood
That death begins to seduce the senses
She waited as long as her pulse would allow
But the pungent corpse helped crystallize her vow
And the stench was having an overwhelming effect
The veins on her neck began colorizing themselves
Like a revolution in thought, by Bertolt Brecht
Galileo came to her mind as scientists said
The evidence of the senses is theirs to accept
She tore open the floor boards, began tasting his last breath
And it tasted much sweeter as he teetered on death
She could take it no longer, she tore open his chest
Began sucking on his heart, her tongue was her knife
It was in this moment when death did smell 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.....

Hell T, I enjoyed this very much....love vampires stories; and you did this right; the smell reference is extremely well done.... I saw every True Blood episode up till about the 4th year; till it got cheesy and started to take itself to serious; insulting its viewers by turning the vampires 'edgy' humans....you did this right in portraying them as blood loving heartless predators
'And it tasted much sweeter as he teetered on death
She could take it no longer, she tore open his chest
Began sucking on his heart, her tongue was her knife
It was in this moment when death did smell better than life'
These last two lines take me places, and seem to carry an independent message as well....T, I like this poem a whole lot....you don't restaurantize you pepper for the soft tongued patrons, me brother, eat at your own risk.....oh this one was fun....cheers
