Octomeber Day 22 - Acrostic

So... I pretty much gave up with yesterday's prompt. It was to write a villanelle with a villain in mind. I was toying with doing one based on Maleficent... but I just wasn't jiving with it. But anyway, its a new day and a new prompt:


Using the words Vampire Bat, make an acrostic poem. Feel free to manipulate the form. Maybe, instead of starting the sentence with each letter, you end each one with it instead!


Velveteen touch, hand against chest -
a double bass pedal beating its way out. losing
myself in the rhythm of us as your breath 
passes across the skin of my throat.

I snake my hands through your hair;
rush of blood between us at 
every shared kiss - you moan, into the 
back of my throat;

a secret to keep locked in the vault of 
this mouth - the song of two hearts.
