For vampires in this context feed not on the blood of the prey, but more the vitality, the youthful force. King David in his older years slept with Abishag, not for sexual pleasure but to embrace and feed upon her youth and thus, as sure as subtle vibrations synchronize with a stalling body, enlivening it and causing its momentum to reignite the vital force emanating from Abishag infused the inner spirit of King david with vigour.
Abishag The Shumenite~ wiki entry
David and Abishag by Pedro Américo, 1879
Beloved and the Pleasure Servant
I can only be a shadow
Parallel to your life,
Never a part nor hand on hand
But fleeting. The passing breeze.
What cruel the rules
Of mistress fate,
Her scourge upon some order,
And am I not allowed with thee
Who art at many, so youth the years
and thus too much the younger.
Am I that stalling vampire
Feeding on the fresh;
Who’s body soft unravaged,
Eyes that rove kindling fire;
The paths uncharted tread,
But are our steps harmonious
that path as always, but the path
And each! We look ahead.
So, then my fair skinned goddess,
Whose red haired disguised
Excites the more my thirst,
Into your fluid soul I conjour …
With beckoning bowing fingers
Lure your body to my bed.
Your soul In this surrendered
The Western Gate
