Deep within the woods
out on the moon lit lake
water rippling to your rowing
you stop in the middle, turning,
I take your hands in mine
looking deep within each others eyes
I whisper to you-
"forever mine"
leaning closer
I kiss your lips
moving to your chest,
shivering in exquisite rush,
opening my eyes
and kiss once again,
my blood soaked teeth
you whisper in my ear
"forever mine"
