Had You Stayed The Way You Were
Had you stayed the way you were
The night would have seemed brighter
The day would have seemed longer
The stars dimmer
_______________
Had you stayed the way you were
Another would have loved you
As tradition required
Married and content
Yearning for more
_____________________
Had you stayed the way you were
I would have loved
Someone in the shadows
Who could never have kept
My passion alive
_____________________
Had you stayed the way your were
You would just be a memory
An old photo for me to treasure
A dried carnation wrapped in lace
_____________________
Had you stayed the way you were
I would have loved you
A hundred years ago
And now you’d be a ghost
In my heart alone
___________________
Had you stayed the way you were
I wouldn’t feel
Your kiss so cold
With the passion of ice
And fire blazing
With your dazzling fanged smile
My Vampire love.

What a wonderful poem, Juliette… very “vampirish”… and very personal too, in a way… I like it – and the picture fits perfectly well!
Thank you. That is going to become my trademark picture (or maybe a book cover).
OOOOh! Building up for the big night! Passion-unleashed!
Yes indeed! The big night is almost here!
Absolutely lovely, J. Passion, with a twist of ice. Nice !
Thank you Paul!
