Dracula's DaughterA Poem by hollyWritten for "Sonneteers Lend Me Thy Tears" contest. I meant to write a sad love sonnet but wound up having a giggle with it. Sorry Fran!
Dracula’s Daughter
Another hope, another call to life
Betrays the calm I treasure above all,
And weaves connections to an awe filled strife:
Blood sought, removed and someone left in thrall.
Cold mind, that dead, refuses yet to die -
Dead heart, that stopped, returns to beat again -
Cedes but a passing thought to that last sigh
Dropped from two lips whose throat delights in pain.
Endless pursuit –what immortality!
Fearing dawn, I rise to greet the moon,
Eclipsing with my wings the Marian sea.
Force me, love, to leave your blood alone!
God, whichever god, give me the strength,
Grant mortal life to him I hold at length. © 2008 hollyFeatured Review
