The Vampire And The Sea Nymph | Paul Anozie

Vampire : I know you do not know that I am a vampire,
Cute eagle of my life.
When you coo your dream-like songs,
And your painted talons cut my succulent arms,
Little do you know that you unlock the blood bank,
That irrigates the parched garden of my groin.

Sea Nymph :I know you do not know that I'm a sea billow,
Proud captain of my heart.
When you throw your magical nets,
And your honey-tipped fishing rod dig my aquatic depths.
Little do you know that you draw my enchanted waters,
To the tender beaches of your loins.
