Sangria and Smoke

[Cellar Door]

Redder-than-blood sangria
washed over a blood orange
which is too bright to be blood
As you took my glass from me
Our eyes met
A rolling curtain of smoke
danced in your face
blue and gray smoke swirled violently
I took my glass back
and it crushed in my hand
Expensive delicate crystal
A gift from a friend
who does not know the real me
Finally the sight of real blood
After a bottle and a half of fakes
You lit me a smoke
while I poured another
You with your smoke-
me with my blood-
And the moment passed like all of our best ones-

In silence

[Dark Muse]

Beautiful. I loved the imagery this was quite stunning I really enjoyed it

Nice work Cellar. I particularly liked the ending:

You lit me a smoke
while I poured another
You with your smoke-
me with my blood-
And the moment passed like all of our best ones-

In silence

The lines Virgil quoted were my favorite as well but the imagery was pretty poignant throughout! Have you ever seen a movie called "The Hunger" with Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie and Susan Sarandon. I still think it's one of the most sensual vampire movies ever. This reminded me of it.

Sophia- never heard of that movie- wasn't really trying to channel vamps here, but i could see how it could be interpreted that way...
Virgil- glad you liked it!
