....
Here you are, dearest.
Take this scarlet part of me.
Quench that gnawing thirst.
It just stings a bit
A quick bite, then pure numbness
I close my eyes, calm.
You have me now, love
That part of me you wanted
Warms your still, cold veins.
More or less mortal
I swear, I don't mind one bit.
You are so worth it.
Eyes glowing crimson
You tell me you feel alive.
I smile, gratified.
You won't see me weep
For this loving sacrifice:
Forever sounds fine.

Maybe, sometime soon
They'll teach Tragedy in schools
Where our children go.
It'll bore them silly.
"Why, that happens every day!"
Heads on desks, they'll nap.
The teacher will sigh
Shaking her worry-filled head
She'll cry, "class dismissed!"
Students will file out
Skipping, chattering joyfully.
Teach heads home to drink.
They all look both ways
Caution sleeping within them.
Anything could happen.

Airborne spirits rise
clouds cradle drifting dreams
valour in soft mist
each gust whispers ancient tales—
bravery stains the blue sky
Bravery stains the blue sky
echoes ride the restless wind
courage in each breath
twilight crowns their silent pride—
heroes written in the sky
