I stalk in the shadows
And I walk in the night,
Fearing and yearning for
The strength of the light.

I watch life around me
Filled with bright red
Unaware of the danger
That comes from the dead.

I touch your soft skin
So soft and so sweet
I kiss your sweet lips
As if tasting a treat.

So gentle I seem
So caring and warm -
But the Hunger inside me
Rolls like a storm.

I kiss the great beat
That is thumping so strong,
So tempting and luscious
Feels right though it's wrong.

Again I have taken
What's not mine to take.
Once sorrow would fill me
Now regret takes its place.

I'm losing myself
In these shadows of death.
One day I'll be gone,
The beast will be left.

Interesting, the remorseful Vampire. I was expecting some horror, or maybe gore, and this poem is just so sad and lonely. Well done.

"One day I'll be gone - the beast will be left"
What perfect summary lines, since the whole poem is about a Vampire who is regretting losing his humanity. Unique concept, well done!

wow - interesting spin on the Vampire tail SEALIAH:

The Following Text Is Quoted:

Fearing and yearning for
The strength of the light.

The war within seems to speak loudly of your Vampire... Remorse, yes - but more so a feeling of "what-if" prevails - Seems he's having 2nd thoughts about joining the crew of the dark...

I like this piece very much, as it gives to the Vampire what we hardly ever see: feelings.

Especially the very last stanza:

The Following Text Is Quoted:

I'm losing myself
In these shadows of death.
One day I'll be gone,
The beast will be left.

Hardly ever hear of a Vampire talking about "the notorious end" Interesting poem indeed - I thank you for sharing it AND Welcome again to the JPiC Community

"I'm losing myself
In these shadows of death.
One day I'll be gone,
The beast will be left."


I love this last stanza. In a way, it seems contradictory: It follows from the rest very smoothly, but when one remembers we are talking about a vampire, it's a very original way to portray a very stereotyped creature like a vampire. Makes one think about the beast that lies in all of us ...
