Nobody Is Drawing Wine From This Blood Poem by Paula Glynn

Nobody is drawing wine from this blood
Nobody is going to steal my love

I am in a room all alone here
Yet I have no boundaries, hold no fear

I start the inner fire
I create your all consuming desire

No vampire feeds from this neck
I always know what comes next

I know the future and the past
I know the present moment

I am nobody's victim
I am never left drained

My blood never turned into red wine
Where people celebrate as they dine

But no one celebrates me:
To my mind only I hold the key

I create pure unadulterated gold
But never turn into unmoving statue

I wander the four corners of the world
And leave every stone unturned

I look to Mother Earth for protection
Never relying on winning an election

I don't need power and control:
I don't need to be a president

Simply said, only I hold the key
To my mind, body and soul: only me.
