To a Woman of Feeling
Pertial
Your hair is flickering in candlelight.
Does your neck tingle when I touch your wrist?
Your goodnesses would fill an Angel's list
Written on high clouds, I could never cite
How many goodnesses. Can you resist
My rhymed advance? I silently insist
You hang my key upon the moon's thin fight.
Does your neck tingle? When I touch your wrist
I slowly soften, as my mind is kissed;
And I kiss back, with your blood to incite.
How many sweetnesses can you resist?
A ravin hunger hovers like a mist
On your necklass, as if to sin invite.
Does your neck tingle when I touch your wrist?
There is no hidden flesh that I resist,
As touching, souls find solace in the night.
How many sweetnesses can you resist?
Does your neck tingle when I touch your wrist?

Is this the companion Villanelle to Friends related by wrist?
When I read it I was reminded of These Dreams by Heart:
http://www.ckdhr.com/hrose/songs/these_dreams.html
(just reminded me of it I think for the feeling and some of the words
in your poem. Your meaning is definitely a bit different. Don't blame
me if you don't like the song. It's what immediately came to mind ;))
Necklass?

Vampirish, perhaps? "a hunger that hovers around the neck?"

Am I dense reader or what? You can answer truthfully. I don't
bite...er... I'm a bit daft. I was looking at "Friends" as the first
poem, when I think you mentioned that this one came first.
>
> For pure fiction, try: http://www.drinkdeeplyanddream.com/
Which books were you thinking of? There are a bunch mentioned that are
for sale on Amazon and the like.
Any you'd recommend where vampires aren't cliche?
You may kill me -- I actually liked the first few Anne Rice books. They
became a little lackluster later on-- like the one about the Isis
cult... Pandora and (this one was first, iirc) Armond. (Kinda like her
way of introducing the story by way of mysterious character that is
perpetuated in Servant of the Bones).
I like Rice's descriptions of Mozart's and Beethoven's music in the
beginning of Violin, though I've yet to finish the book

was about 19-20 at the time. I will admit, however, to being suckered
in to the examinations of feeling that the characters sometimes have.
(or even their indecisiveness)
I think it was the Lestat book where she mentioned talking and
getting drunk and playing the violin (or just music?) for the duration
of the night. Ah, if I only could...

Only two. Hardly "several". :)

Me too. I read some of it. Before I realized you mentioned the
fiction... I was wondering about you. It didn't seem consistent with
things you said in the Practical Magick thread. :)

Strange, isn't it? :)
Would you prefer that I *believe* "just like you",
or is it tolerable for some of my belief system to have
holes in areas that yours is more filled in?

The part of your belief system that makes light of the attempted
genocide of the Native Americans seems to have a few holes... since you
finished your important errands, and are now back, perhaps you can
explain what was up with all that?

By *believe* do you mean the people on this sight believe they are
vampires holding to the definition they give?
Or something else?
I'm sorry I forgot to ask you to clarify your statement before.

Consistently so. :) j/k

Intolerable, of course.
We can have none of that "differences" stuff.
If you don't agree with all my beliefs, then there's something just
flat out wrong with you. ;)! j/k of course.
I wouldn't want a gazillion Diana's out and about. The world would lose
its flavor and go onesided.
Diana
And sometimes it's both. (when you're experimenting with form, or
whatever else)
If I smush it together I get petrified poetry.
Now that's scary! :)

Not as good as "hanging my key on the moon's thin flight", but
then, perhaps just me.

Well...
I don't *believe* that they believe that /they/ are vampires...
No one does that for any length of time... :)
They believe that *vampires* exist <at all>.
(which makes them <a little> interesting, as a curiosity of nature)
It is like *magick*, *Jesus*, *The Easter Bunny*, *Santa Claus*,
and *The Boogey Man*.
BOO!
:)

Not just you. I just hadn't mentioned it. It was a great image of a
crescent moon. The image stuck.
I really liked the fight part. It reminded me of waxing and waning and
the idea of cycles, even though that wasn't part of the poem. Which in
turn reminds me of "summer's beginning to give up her fight..."

I agree. :)
The concept of sucking/sapping energy is real enough. In a loose sense
it's vampirism. But, then everyone and everything does that to some
degree.

Blood curdling scream. (one good enough for the movies, B grade even.)
