a murderous
winter passion
held its icy grip
on juicy melons,
mellow-rich
the blood
of raspberries
stained her fingertips
and mouth, lost
in strawberry sublime
found every drop
of juice
every seed
divine

A blight of cold, a stab on fruit flesh.
This is extremely clever imagery (I'm thinking Agatha Christie, here. Apparently - I seem to recall - the most read writer ever). Or, something along those lines.
vamp, murderous, passion, rich, blood, stained, fingertips, every drop, divine
