Strength Is Blood

Vampire.

Moving through La Paz
         The highest capital in the world
I felt my head was in the clouds

The only thing that drew me here
         was hunger
                an unending hunger
that kept me alert and agitated
easy pickings
         easy feeding
                            easy blood
the languages spoken didn't matter
       Spanish, English
                    Aymara, Quechia
                              German, French
            It didn't matter
     The language I spoke
            The language of sex
        any man can understand

From the poverty stricken slum
                to the estates of wealth
        it was understood what I was offering
but I never gave - I took - Their blood
                      their life

This mild land, where night and day
                 are just about equal
        I like it here as I wander
    the lowlands of the Amazonian rainforest
as I wander around Llaguna Collorade the shallow salt
         a Salavde Uyumi, the largest salt flat

I like it here in Bolivia
The unity is the strength
and my strength is in the blood
      their blood
and I will feast here
     for a long long while

Oooh! I like this one! It's got power and mystery to it's verses. I can easily see the thoughts of the vampire as she makes her way down the busy streets, bustling with mortals going about their way... all the while, they have no idea there is a hunter in their midst.

Great Ink!

Whoa. Just truly amazing. It painted a vivid picture in my mind that just blew me away. I especially liked the beginning. Just something about it captures the reader.

[Star Wolf]

Awesome! I love the exotic and sultry feel of this. A powerful vampire poem. I can just see the vampire stalking the busy streets filled with locals and foreigners seeking a meal.

[Wolf's Dark Song]

A very thrilling vampire poem from the vampire's point of view. Like the setting for this tale too.
