the first half of this is the first written. tonights effort is the second half.
My Dear Draco
My Dear Draco,
In my wonderous grief,
My melancholy draws me to you,
You fraternise with the dead,
That my heart consents to join,
While my mind discards the notion.
Your dark eyes loosened my message,
My heartbreak summons me to you,
Your hounds howl at my anguish,
Written is this in my,
Dead husbands’ blood!!
You hankering for blood
Cajoles me to you
Here I am offering you
All of my morrows
Gifting my death to you
So, you can feast,
on my malicious blood!!
Yours,
The black widow of Darkville

My dearest widow,
Come let me feast on your blood!
I accept your death and join
your morrows to mine.
I am hankering after
the taste of your blood.
I am glad to see you kept a vile
of my human blood.
The heartbreak at my death caught
in your blood shot eyes.
Helped me consent to you joining me
Come join me in the melancholy of death
Together we will be in death
Forever yours in death
Draco

Thank you, Rog, for this fiendishly gothic tale! I loved it, both letter and response 🙂

Rog,
I think these two were made for each other, dead or alive!

I so love the gothic ghoulish letters to each other, both characters twining in life and death.

This is deliciously dark and potent! I so love the fact that both poems mirror each other in terms of passion and precision. Kudos to you! 💝💝

A match made in heaven or hell, your pick. 😁 Beautifully and brilliantly written; some characters delve in the others’ darkness–thriving off the chaos, really, and I love how you delineated that aspect here. I loved reading it.

gothic vampires venting about their blood curdling deaths … so dark!

I have always felt that the vampire is really a tale of lust and passion.. with death and staying behind is part of the lure.
