Ode to a Vampiress
In darkness ... it is said of ones such as You,
does she dwell ... she is,
the dark seductress who haunts your every dream.
And beware, they say.
for her embrace is ecstasy ... and ... death.
And yet ... I am haunted by your dark beauty
and dancing eyes, and the turn of your lips as you smile.
I have listened and heard your voice singing in the wind.
And now, as Night's Children sing to you
I lie upon my bedding,
cool satin against my fevered flesh, and
my thoughts turn to You.
And sleep will not come ... this night.
