Red Snow

poetry for vampires and those who love them....

I recall a winter ages ago just like this

Snow on the ground and blood in her kiss,

Splayed out on the ground under moonlight

She lay across me her skin so white;

The truth from her lips quietly spilled

Into my own with a shuddering thrill,

She told me to drink of her, rich and deep

And as her cold embraced me I sank into sleep.

 

I dreamed of castles high on craggy steppes

A girl who gave herself with her dying breath,

Of her search for the love she had lost

The price she had paid and at what cost;

And I saw myself as a different man there

With ocean blue eyes and long flowing blonde hair,

How they had killed one and suffered the other to live

The dream washed over me with memories to give.

 

So that when I awoke in the snow once more

The flakes falling around me a hundred score,

Her blood reminded me of our common past

And my eyes sprang open with the remembrance at last;

Of her lily white skin and pale beating breast

The dark of her eyes and her hand on my chest,

I remember the way her lips curled in a grin

Right before a kiss that said "please love me again."

 

And as she gave me her blood, crimson and red

On each other now we so anxiously fed,

Until both were sated in the chill night air

She lay her hand on my chest, labored and bare;

This new life we’d found in the rediscovery of youth

Soul mates once separated by a curse and the truth,

I recall a winter ages ago just like this

Snow on the ground and blood in her kiss.
