The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

One day, when I was about 16 years old, I wrote a poem out of the blue. This came as a surprise to me, as I had never thought I could write poety. And it was in English, too, which I didn't even know all that well yet at the time.



I've written many poems since. Some I have published on my website, some I have kept private. Writing poetry has helped me deal with a lot of the things that have happened in my life, both good and bad, and in particular with the emotions I've felt. I found that if I put my emotions into a poem, even if the words do not actually describe my situation at the time, they become easier to handle - I no longer need to keep the feelings inside me, but at the same time, I can always go back to the poems I've written to find the feelings back again.



It sometimes seems to me that my poems are like crystals formed from my emotions. The metre and rhyme in a poem make up its crystal structure. And in this crystalline form, my emotions are preserved for the future.

Several years ago, some friends and I challenged each other to write poems with a vampire theme.



The results of this challenge can be found here...







He flew to her as she sat in her bedroom

Touched down on her face with a powerful kiss

She fell to her bed as he landed upon her

It happened so quickly she couldn't resist

Embraced to submission, she lay uncomplaining

As he brushed her hair out exposing her neck

Anaesthetised softly with delicate kisses

She lay ready for him to make his descent



Her neck throbbing softly in time to her heartbeat

So soft and unblemished, a peach tinted white

He cradled her head and leant over her body

And kissed with lips open - jaws closing to bite



The heat hits his mouth as the blood trickles slowly

The taste is addictive, so rich and so warm

Unconscious, she's feeling a rush in her body

Excited, she calls out to him "Oh yes! More!"



He reads her elation and stops from his feeding

And, kissing her, turns round to look at her face

Light-headed, unthinking, she rises to kiss him

And falls to the spell of vampiral embrace



They kiss in the moonlight, her neck bleeding slowly

He bites her tongue hard as it strays by his teeth

Their mouths fill with blood as he drinks from her kisses

His hands getting busy with something beneath



He rips off her nightdress, the satin tears cleanly

Exposing her vulnerable body to him

She swallows her blood and delights in its softness

As he takes her skull in the palms of his hands



Her head on his shoulder, her body beneath him

She sighs with delight at the feelings inside

Sustained by her blood and her tenderest kisses

The vampire takes on a lover tonight
