The Hunger

by Johnny Marlin 2   Jan 12, 2005


Catastrophe has broke
On the horizon
Devilish winds
And a sky of crimson

This night isn't like
Any of the rest
This terrible hunger
Tears apart my chest

Hunger for the blood
Of the innocent at heart
The romantic lust
That sets vampire's apart

I must go on the hunt
For tonight is the night
I please my appetite
And stray from the light

You may look down on me
And say I'm not right
But you haven't a clue
Of my inner sight

I seek to not harm
Just take what I need
Unlike others like me
Overwhelmed by greed

As I see you alone
I quietly approach
Pull you to the alley
As I begin to coach

I tell you not to fear
For I mean no harm
Bite down on your neck
So beautiful and warm

The feelings we get
Are unexplainable in nature
Orgasmically passionate
With overwhelming allure

So sad you won't remember
For I can not allow it
Because Vampires aren't real
A myth humans don't permit

    Amazing poem ... The title is what captivated me, I'm not so sure why. Perhaps because it's unusual. Anyways ... I thought this was a wonderful poem, full of imagry, and detailed descriptions of emotions.

    I really liked this particular stanza-
    "Hunger for the blood
    Of the innocent at heart
    The romantic lust
    That sets vampire's apart"
    I like the way you incorporate vampires in the poem. It doesn't seem forced at all, and it's unique. It's not expected.

    Great poem.
    [p.s.- you really should submit more often.]

    I thought this was very beautiful and intriguing. Beautifullu dark with a sense of passionate evil that ignites when the subject reaches his sight of prey, lovely. I really liked how you portrayed the emtoions lit by the sad parting of a turned fantasy at the end. Well done

    Okay, well I liked the "Hopeless Suicide" better, I think.. but this one's not bad, either.

    I didn't particulary like this stanza at all...

    You may look down on me
    And say I'm not right
    But you haven't a clue
    Of my inner sight

    ....it lacks the poetic feeling that you've given to some of your other stanzas and other poems. But the poem overall was alright.
