Darkness Is Coming

by Brittney Follett   Sep 17, 2007


Tall, brown haired, browned eyed, he's handsome.
Every graceful step he takes is breath-taking.
You would think he was a god in human form.
There is only one thing that gives him away.

When he talks, with his seductive voice...
His perfect sharp white teeth are shown...
Dark shadows lay beneath his eyes...
Those eyes are portals into a world unknown.

You'd think that a god-like man such as this,
Would have some love upon his strong arm?
He's always walking never resting, what's wrong?
His eyes, always searching, he's always alone.

He stalks the night, searching, for hours.
What is he up to this cold, dark, night?
Up to her house he gracefully moves.
Not a single soul up and around in sight.

He enters her room mist comes from her breath.
Standing over, so very thirsty, his body is yearning.
Feeling his presence, so cold, she starts to wake.
His hands twitch and they grab her by the neck.

Her scream is muffled behind his hand.
He pulls her up against his hard chest...
No heartbeat inside his cold bosom.
Her heart beats frantically behind her breast.

His face is buried against her neck.
He can smell her sweet blood pulsing.
Opening his mouth and biting down,
His desire is now satisfied with her blood.

Gasping for air her vision darkening.
She grabs his hands pulling on his arms.
Licking her wounds, they instantly close.
"Sorry darling, I have meant no harm."

He lets her go and watches her body spasm.
She's about to become perfect in his eyes.
Back arched, her form is changing...
Her skin goes white, hear heart stops beating.

She lays still upon the cold floor.
He stands over her, patiently waiting.
"Come my dear it's time to go."
Eyes open, she arises as if just resting.

They leave the house and enter a new life.
Him and Her god-like beauty, for eternity.
Onward they will descend upon this Earth.
I tell you, a new race is coming quickly.

And There's No Where For You To Run.

    First stanza, third line; "You would think he was god in a human form." I think it would sound better if you took the [a] out or put it before god instead... just my opinion though.
    Anyway, I loved this poems story-like form. It was very capitivating and I couldn't stop reading. The imagery was amazing. 5/5
