Very dark, almost frightening. I didn't expect a poem like that from you after you had said you had a bit of a problem with SI poetry, though of course that is something completely different, the only common ground being the fascination with blood, and I must confess I still prefer the craving for one's own blood to that for another person's, though both are not very recommendable... but in the first case at least you only harm yourself and not others. That said, the poem is a realmasterpiece as far as language and imagery is concerned, you manage to create a dense, frightening, eerie, oppressive atmosphere that mirrors the dark and obsessive elements in the relationship portrayed. Parallelisms and contrasts are a strong, almost constituting element in this poem, the contrast between snow and fire, white (skin) and red (blood). The last line is a strong way to end. One minor msitake though: "es erinnerte mich an" is "it reminded me of". "to remember" can only be used in the context "sich erinnern" (I remembered ...).

aw...sad, i love the line "swallowed the shadows," a lot. it's so eerie, and leaves this odd feeling before. so haunting. keep on going!
