"Paranormal Romance" Inspired by Dracula:

Paranormal Romance

A flash of long, white teeth,

blood-red eyes,

a nocturnal nature,

and an irrepressible need

for human blood.

Dark and dangerous,

the unknown--

possibly unknowable.

What about these characteristics

become mysterious and alluring,

masking the ill intent?

Dracula is literally demonic--

how did human decide paranormal romance is

not only accepted

but desired?

Different goals,

different lifestyles,

even different lifespans;

humans are not compatible with

the undead.

How about honest, trustworthy, kind

and our own species?

Here’s my vote:

let’s look for some normal romance.
