Kiss of Life

Life hidden in darkness

Sunlight his curse

Never aging, forever young;

beautiful

Past dripping of pain and heartbreak.

Creature with skin pale, ashen;

like milk

Eyes as stars of the heavens

Stalker of midnight moonlight

Companion to those close to death

He lusts for the sweet taste of blood

Craving smooth defenseless necks of innocents;

Untainted by evil and corruption.

 Touch chilling,

penetrating,

Strait to the heart

Entrapping your very spirit.

Wise beyond his years,

And his appearance

He longs for love,

To be loved;

In the presence of the living

Of life.

Endlessly searching for his soul mate

To be eternally together;

in the shadows of existence.

 

He finds me

Affairs are arranged

My transformation planned,

Me to be his kind

With no interference.

 

 Gently caressing my anxious throat

Placing his lips against me

Opening his mouth slowly

Fangs sliding out from beneath

My neck punctured,

Blood flowing free

He drinks,

Drinks until there is no more.

 

In dieing, I am reborn

I am alive

We participate in an emotional ritual

Piercing the lining of his wrist

Blood streams from his wound

An endless river,

Sweet vermillion red

Taking his wrist

I place it against my tongue

Taste overwhelms me

I desire more and

MORE

I must have MORE.

 

Finally I stop

His hands outlining my trembling body

Fingers lingering and set upon my face

Now snow white

Transfixed we stare at each other

Witnessing pure bliss

A passionate kiss initiated

In which at that moment,

my prince of the underworld

breathed life back into me.

 

Both now entities beyond this realm

Free from pain

Free from suffering

No longer a human of the living

I am like him,

a vampire

Vampires we are

Sharing our immortality

Entwined together as one.
