Graveyard Coffeehouse

A True Vampire Walks Alone

---

It was not that first bite
Sharp incisors breaking
Supple pale skin
That made you a Vampire
You knew early on
For the day was never
Your friend
The sun betrayed
The gleam in your eyes
The hunger
Your lust for flesh
Your eternal desire
For love
In solitude
You bewailed your Fate
Damnation
Reaching out
For someone
With whom
To walk
The twisted path
To lay together
Flesh to flesh
Skin to skin
Heart to heart
Eternal
Feeling so lost
As the victims fall
One
By
One
Yet you live on
Damned
Your cracked dry lips
Seething for a kiss
Gnarled hands
Yearning to feel
Voluptuous curves
Awaiting
The orgasmic moment
Rise
Fall
Rise again
And
She is gone
You are alone
Just rhythm
Rhyme
Poetry
Memories
Blood
To keep you warm
At Night
Searching for salvation
True Love
In the forbidden
Awaiting
Someone from a past life
To walk
With you
Until
The end
Of time
Knowing
Until then
A true vampire
Walks
Alone
It is the way
Has always been
Will always be
As long
As there are
Crimson tears
Blood curdling
Screams
Darkness
Nightmares
Within a dream
Passion
Sensuality
To be craved
Until she
Invites you in
Gives you
Her body
Heart
Mind
Spirit
Takes your hand
You are depraved
Solitary
A monster
The Nosferatu
A
Vampire.
