Graveyard Coffeehouse

Black Roses and Blood Red Tears

---

Vampira
Where are you now
After the stake
Has been driven deep
Where does your restless
Spirit wander
When the Night
Rules supreme?
What fiend kisses
Your blood red lips
Caresses your voluptuous
Pale breasts
What ghoul mouths sweet
Nothings
Feigning tenderness?

Vampira when you died
My aching heart
Broke in two
And with your passing
Part of me
Was entombed
Dying slowly
In the sepulchre
That now bares your name
Never again to breath
Walk the black
Only to mourn the passing
Of my beautiful
Dark mistress
Who I will never
Get back
Vampira.

Vampira
In your eyes I saw eternity
Now there are only
Cloudy spheres
Hollow sockets
A skeleton
Grey rotting flesh
The bleached white bones
That I once held
In my arms
So dear
My kisses are all gone
My bites evaporated
In thin air
All for naught
All for naught
My darling
My sweet
Vampira.

Vampira
In my mind's eye
You still shuffle so sexy
In a skimpy black dress
Just as you did previous
Majestic
Beautiful
Sensuous
Passionate
Alive
Undead
My Vampira
Yes
My lovely.

Vampira
I love you
I always will
Until the end of time
You are mine
Though you are gone forever
Just a memory
The shadow of a phantom
A ghost of a dream
But I love you
Vampira
The same as if you
Were here right now
Your lips pressed to mine
Your curvaceous body
Against my weathered
Pale skin
Oh, if you could
Kiss me again
Vampira
Kiss me now
Sweet seductress
Once more.

Vampira
I bring black roses
As a testament
To all you were
All I never
Got a chance to see
For Death took you
Too soon
I shed blood red tears
For a memory
That haunts me each day
Every infernal dark evening
Each dream
Nightmare
It is all you
Vampira
I am screaming
Your name
Tortured with pain
My demon lover
Come back
To
Me
Come back to me
Vampira.
