Faded and Forgotten





I stepped around the corner and there he was,

standing where I expected no one to be,

so I was startled and I stumbled,

and I fell to my knees.



How ridiculous I felt,

acting like a frightened child.

I shook my head at my foolishness and looked up to see...



The way his hair fell about his face,

one eyebrow raised,

surveying my predicament with amusement and delight.



I was charmed, disarmed and maybe a little bit in love.



He stretched out his hand to pull me up,

it felt cool and strong,

he kept on pulling until,

I was pressed tightly to him.



He bent me backwards and,

turned me roughly to the side,

his kisses were desperate and hungry,

as if he were a starving man and I was a great and fancy feast.



Pleasure jolted through me like electricity,

then began to build in waves.



Slowly I became alive,

surely I had not been before.

Compared to this moment,

my entire life was no more than a pale dream.



Then he bit!

Deep into my neck,

and I could scarcely tell that I had been bitten,

the pain was so confused with ecstasy!



Then he sucked!

And I knew, and I cried out!

MONSTER!



Sobbing, I cried out,

again and again.

Do not take my life from me!

Just when I've found what it means to be alive!



Then, wondrously,

he loosed his hold on me,

and gently and so sadly,

he said;



You desire life, yet you do not live, not truly,

yours would be a life that is long but passionless,

and you would die a faded and forgotten old man.



Let us finish what we have started,

you will die, but you will die knowing what it means to be vibrant,

and your death will be a glorious masterpiece!



I forced a sound through my clenched teeth,

it sounded like a long, low, whispered

...noooooo...

so he dropped me in the gutter, and disappeared.



It was cold,

I looked up into the night sky,

it was a dull, flat black with only a few stars,

and they didn't twinkle at all.

My Rescue



My warm blood drained

from my body, as

he sunk his teeth

into my flesh.



I felt so alive, as

if I could fly.

A full moon shone brightly

into his deep dark eyes.



A drop of blood dripped

from his lips, and

he smiled at me gently

as life surged through me.



He rescued me from hell

and lead me through the

portal to heaven,

I am strong now.

The Vampire





You that like a dagger’s thrust,

Have entered my complaining heart,

You that stronger than a host

Of demons, came, wild yet prepared;



Within my mind’s humility

You made your bed and your domain;

Infamous one who’s bound to me

Like any felon by his chain,



Like a gambler by his games,

Like the bottle and the sot,

Like the worms in one’s remains,

Damn you! Damnation be your lot!



I’ve begged the merciful, swift sword

To overcome my liberty,

To poison I have said the word:

Save me from poltroonery.



Alas the sword! Alas the poison!

Contemptuous, they spoke to m:

You never can deserve remission

Of your accursed slavery,



Imbecile! - If our deadly empire

Freed you from your present fate,

Your kiss would soon resuscitate

The cold cadaver of your vampire!
