Scarlet eyes aglow
Ignited by
Late nights and
Errant photo flashes
I arose
At the twilight
Urged by bloodlust
Creature of the night
Fuelled by the scent
Of potential prey
Skittish and elusive
I remained unfed
Hunger unsatiated
Starved of company
Parched heart
Unbeating alone
As the sun awoke
Cowering from
The blinding light of day.
I was your
Innocent vampiress
Cloaked in mystery
Secrets unexplored
My spotless smile
Alluring, seductive
Pointed teeth
Carefully concealed
And a carnal desire
To tear hot flesh
I struck
My crimson lips
Pressed to your neck
Caught by the jugular
Fangs steeped
In sanguine love
Dripping from my chin
Gorging on fresh life
My helpless victim.
Lovebitten
We became
Undead together
Sharing shadows
Roaming the night
Fiery passion
Coursing through our veins
Feasting on
Secrets and stories
Devouring and drinking
Until drained dry
Sustenance consumed
You took wing
A lone hunter
Seeking new blood
Fresh territory
Your parting words
Sharp as a stake
Through this vampiress’ heart.
