Love Poem: The One

The One

She's a beast much wilder
and a thing even blood-thirstier;

excited, I take refuge
and secret, forbidden repose

in her dangerous embrace
which deceitfully protects

me from other predators 
of the heart--my own beating

and panting in my chest
like a tender, beefy doe

about to become someone's
tender rack of venison meat;

paralyzed with anticipation,
I go along as she sighs to me 

soothingly that it will be 
quick, that I won't even feel 

a thing...and as I joyfully 
submit she lovingly 

plunges her sharp, thirsty 
fangs into my juicy veins 

and sucks them dry! 
And as my body falls into a 

bloodless, pallid heap I then
know that she is the One.
