Love transcends death
A Vampire's Proposal
by lancellot
Oh, my little one, I feel so cold within,
I crave the warmth of your living skin. Young feminine innocence excites me so. It drives a hunger no mortal can know. ~ Yet here you are listening without fear. Reminding me of a love I once held dear. ~ But, I must not surrender to such desire, once released, my thirst rages ever higher. Like a plague, I’ve ravaged lands of life, leaving only despair and everlasting strife. ~ You should go, for the hour grows late. Stay here longer, and you seal your fate. ~ Don’t tempt me with your angelic face, this old damned soul of long lost grace. It’s true; once I did bask in His light, a being of beauty with wings of white. ~ But that was so very, very long ago, before being cursed for what I know. ~ Still, you don’t believe in Vampires. More than words, your faith requires. The sun is setting on yet another day, as all that is holy slowly fades away. ~ Is it mortal fear in you, I now sense? Your eyes are wide, and muscles tense. ~ Do you feel it creeping up your back? Your heart pounds, fearing an attack. His grace within the sun ruled the sky. Now the Earth weeps, and angels cry. ~ With the night, my kind run the lands. This is something all life understands. ~ Peoples' shutters close and doors lock, as the dead and demons join my flock. Join me as I sit upon my dark throne. Be my bride, for I tire of being alone. ~ You are mortal and so wonder why? True, with one errant kiss; you’ll die. ~ Have no fear, upon you, I will not feed. Though blood sustains, it’s Love I need. Together, we’ll rule as never before seen, an Undead King and his Living Queen. |
