Vampire Tales

---

We spend
Our twisted lives
Condemned
Within
Cold mediocrity
Barely alive
Hungering
For
Darkness
Feeding
On dreams
Passion
Sensuality
Thirsting
For
Pleasure
Pain
Yet few
Hear
The disembodied
Bloodcurdling
Shriek
Announcing
I am alive
Realizing all
Is lost
Damnation
Our Fate
Birthright
Fighting
Against the tide
What nature
Has decried
Taking flesh
Spirit
Love
Loss
Seeking to fuse
Fantasy
The world
Of flesh and bone
Conjuring
A lost beauty
To
Take your hand
Walking
Within
The dark forest
That is your heart
Before everything
Comes
Crashing down
Like a gothic castle
On a mountain peak
Too imposing
Insulting
To the eyes
Of those below
Forced to look up
See
Majesty
Eroticism
Horror
Cursing the forever
They can never have
Fearing
The ivory fanged bite
That makes it so
Hunter
Becomes hunted
Fighting a last stand
As the dream
Dies screaming
Sighs
Before
A final kiss
Upon crimson lips
As it all
Fades to black
One more time
Legend reborn
From
Darkness
Death to life
Arising
To terrorize
The night
Again.
