Blood Huntress

My curvy body moves

         as I dance the Darocho

in the heated nights in Veracruz

From the tropical forest

         I hear the cries of the

              green cheeked Amazon parrot

I hear the stealthy movements

         of the Jaguar and Ocelot

I feel one with them

         skillful predators on the hunt

I move about the population

         of dark skinned and dark eyed

                        people

I am a foreigner and I stand out

exotic and seductive

I easily lure my prey to me

         during the Carnival

this festival that brings so many

         humans together

they willingly surrender to my sweet promises

        of intense ecstasy

I drain them

         letting no red droplets touch the earth

they die in rapture

         hardly hearing the soft calls of nearby

                   cattle and goats

The fertile soil of Veracruz

         welcomes the bodies of the dead

and the abundant rainfall

                   washes away the evidence

                             of my vampire kills

Eerily-provocative, hauntingly-beautiful.

Thanks very much.

A really horrifying yet very seductive vampire poem. Who can resist when the vampire is on the hunt?
Nicely done. I liked the setting.

oooo very dark Tina! and well written, a strong theme of predation to send shivers down the spine, and the welcoming soil is a potent image!!
