Mon Vampirous Doux

Description:
Well, the title means My Sweet Vampirous. I just wanted to use a metaphor that kind of alludes to a Vampire and some people who act like them. Not that this is based of any recent experience, but we all know those people that love to suck the life out of you.
Anyway, tell me what you think!
Anyway, tell me what you think!
Mon Vampirous Doux
Suspended, motionless, The gasp before the fall. A frozen, crimson droplet Condensing in silence; Preparing to leave it's subtle stain Upon a carrion colored floor. A shining, dripping ruby; It collects the light from your eyes, Reflects it back to me In morbidly drawn paintstrokes; Jagged, murderous lines, Glowing a beauty that the dead Would surely give their life for. Alabaster skin Gives way to alabaster sin. So pure, white, and effervescent; This unholy beauty. A creation unsanctioned By the gods of men, A creature untouched By these mortal fears, Unscathed by the burning ignorance of daylight. Reawakened and nourished, To feed and be fed upon By the cool knowledge of the twilight. Glorious, yes, But damned just as gloriously To pierce, To fool, The wicked and the asinine, Such are an angels prey. To love, To know, This demon tosses humanity to the winds In exchange for so much more. So, my sweet vampirous, Must your incision take it's course? When this body is dry, Turning slowly to dust, Will your love mean anything more Than this shell left lying on the floor? We shall see.... The crimson is falling, tentative, Reaching out towards gravity And it's inexorable pull to dust. |

Your poem does vampires full justice and actually takes a train of thought which I had never considered before. Seriously, your prose is beautiful. Thats the plain and simple truth. Most long poems feel long but yours doesn't. Its fresh, orginal, and thought provoking. Furthermore, it is phrased like a true poet. I will definately be reading more of your work. | | Posted on 2005-05-12 00:00:00 | by Mimevas Lemqi | [ Reply to This ] | |
