Watch out! watch out! there's a vampire about He is hungry for blood there is no doubt. The lights are low, the shadows are moving He has found you, it is you he has chosen. He taunts, he teases, does as he pleases Sends spine chilling breezes that never ceases. The urges inside him controls what he is doing He's cold, calculated and emotionally unmoving. Hearing the sound of fluttering wings Your fear expels a blood curdling scream. Boom! boom! boom! heart rate skyrockets high Your asking yourself "Am I about to die?" Moving in closer he whispers your name Tormenting you with his sadistic game. When suddenly he appears there in full view Your body runs cold as he moves closer to you. His hypnotic eyes, his voice sultry and calm Your soon captivated by his mesmerising charm. Your neck now exposed; what he wants is laid bare Piercing your neck he feeds from your submitted despair. No fight is given as your life drains away Blood spattered sprays now on display. His eyes vibrant red from the cells he has stolen His belly now full from the jugular that's broken. Your a heap on the floor but not quiet yet dead The poison grows inside you and rapidly spreads The changes are swift, your reflection has gone Now hungry for blood another vampire is born. 04.10.23

Sure, that nurse who stabbed me about ten times all for a pint of blood was a vampire. Got a feeling I reminded her of her ex-boyfriend or something.

You certainly know what takes place. I guess you could say, you've been there and done that! Very engaging poetry, Emilia. Well written. Have a great weekend, my friend. Bill

Enjoyed your poem that's painted so well in great rhyme, and with a tinge of horror! It reminds me of Dapper Drac, that I posted back in 2013.

Do you suppose he'd settle for a glass of tomato juice? I'm feeling a bit anemic as it is

He may do if he is hungry enough. Could always add in a bit of garlic. Emilia : )
