Vampiric Dream

by enigmatic_prey   Aug 31, 2008


Lurking in the shadows
In the settling dusk
Hunting for her food
Blood is what she asks

With her deceitful disguise
She strolls down the streets
Revealing those crimson orbs
A hint of smirk upon her lips

Don't be fooled of what you see
For blue that seems an illusion
Is reflected upon those eyes,
Succumbed by a faded emotion

Guilt pierces her poor heart
Living a life built on sin
Riddled with death and devastation
Is what her life always been

Such an unwanted existence
Dwelling in this cruel world
With tears trickling down
A call needed to be heard

Wishing to die for a moment
Wanting even once be erased
An unanswered request
Under the cursed moon's gaze

Deep within the forest
So close to sweet oblivion
Where no sunlight can reach,
She waits for night to fall

Walking with a heavy heart
Following the lonely path
Lined with the shadows
Of somber trees in twilight

Her aimless journey continues
Beyond the arcing spindle of time
Taking the thread of destiny
Written in this rhyme.

just wanted to try writing about fictional creatures...

please comment and vote...thanks..

    I will also vote for in my opinion this was an excellent write from a beginner like what you've stated in your profile. I thought the subject was well portrayed and the ending was more than great. I loved how you portrayed her beauty, role and emotions. Loved all of them. Keep writing.
