Morpheus
and Buffy
Morpheus loves Buffy
my Vampire Slayer
he’s fond of Dark Willow too
the black witch of vengeance
Buffy’s friend gone wrong
he’s annoyed at my penchant
for gentle Tara
(the regular Willow’s girlfriend)
shy and strong
‘Not her again!’ he grumbles,
irritated that I watch the Buffy musical
Once
More with Feeling
another time
without asking.
He’s giving me nothing
on the sleep front but will affirm
that Glory the demi-god
is the best villain,
she got both our attention first time round
kicking down a warehouse door
with red high-heeled sandals
then we tracked back and watched the arcs
of friendships rise each season
the sacrifice
the flaming core renewed
heroes and mortals together.
He takes his boots off
puts on my Target slippers
(he’s got small feet for such a tall guy)
he’s sitting on the remote
wondering why the telly’s gone mute
picks his teeth
the whole world loves Spike
‘The Bloody,’ the mocked poet
vampire punk,
he could suck me dry
as I stroke his blond pate
I’d give every drop to him
sarcastic, fallible, mean and good
soft hearted sentimental, under the pose,
but he loves his Buffy best
as does Morpheus
turning up the volume
looking for the next episode.
so enjoyable, especially the funny banalities! I do like a good metonymic monster with small feet to boot :) (and of course, I'm a Buffy and Spike fan too).
ReplyDeleteand I forgot to mention, the photo's goth appeal is funny too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Efi, great to hear you are a fan too. I like 'metonymic monster', and he is that!
