His Vampire

She hovered on the ledge
Would she leap from the edge?
Would she fling herself into the night?
Would she unfurl her wings? -
                                      - Would she take flight?

Was her soul already gone?
To Satan did she already belong?
It is true - Her blood burned like fire
It is true - She is a vampire

But is she God's Child?
         Or is she Satan's Daughter?
God's Creation?
         Or is Satan her father?

Tormented - She could not decide
Blood tears - Exposing her despair -
                              Helplessly she cried
If she jumped - Would she be dead?
Or was her path one to Hell
                      Is that where life has led?

Then he was there beside her
Was he real? - She was not sure
Dark - Beautiful - Tangly black hair
She touched him -
                     He was warm - He was there

He held her in his embrace
Took away the pain -
                   - Nothing left - No trace
Her soul was not damned to Satanic fire
For she found the love
                   The acceptance
                               Of another vampire

Because who really wants to live forever, cursed to an eternity of loneliness?

Not I for one. Of course, with immortality comes the gift of having an endless supply of company to keep you warm at night. And is it better to serve in Heaven? Or rule in Hell?

I found this to be a lovely poem, full of melancholy, doubt, fear, introspection, and finally, hope. In what amounted to a short period of reading, and possibly a fleeting moment for the vampire, you took me on a journey.

Well done.

Thanks very much!

[Caradoc]

You're welcome.

[KAREN]

Very sad, but in the end happiness was found even if it was with another vampire.

[Wolf's Dark Song]

A rather sad tale here. Even vampires need others around. Nicely done.

[Black Cat Fever]

Perhaps being Immortal can lead to depression, living forever can be dreary at times I would think. Anyway, this is rather romantic and fun to read.

[Star Wolf]

Very nice and very romantic vampire poem. I enjoyed reading this.
