Poem
A young man’s walk was careful, As he strode through the passage. The walls were dotted with a red That refused to be washed away with water. The young man’s memory still pictured the fangs, As they plunged into the neck of the woman. The infirmary was in charge of the woman Now. The hands of the nurses were careful As they tended to her wounds. The beast’s fangs Killing her. A bible was brought and a passage Was read. The twisting and turning of the water That dripped down her face made her cheeks red. The young man’s face was painted red With fury. The one dying on the bed was his woman, His wife. The walls he passed oozed with slime and water. To sneak upon the beast in slumber, he must care o’ full Not to stumble. A room appeared at the end of his passage, The evidence of the beast’s presences was made by the work of his fangs. The victim lay dreaming of the gleaming white fangs, That punctured her neck. The blood trickling out was crimson red. She scrambled to reach the safety of the passage, But the reason for her tumble was her clothing of a woman. They were not made for escaping even if one was careful, Her terror caused her eyes to water. In his pocket, the young man stored a vile of holy water, And a wooden stake to end the reign of the evil beast’s fangs. The young mans creep must not have been as careful, As he thought for the beast sat up, his eyes a blood red. A flutter of frantic thoughts ran through his mind, mostly the woman. He glanced once more, before he faced it, at his safety…the passage. The words drew to a close, the ending of the passage. The elderly nurse brought a glass to her lips, water. The eyes gave one last flicker, the body one last shudder as the woman Died. A flash across the sky, two bolts struck the ground, fangs. The beast saw naught but red, His body fell; he smiled as he passed on. The victor’s step over the fallen was careful. His stride up the passage was careful as he went to see her. He ran water over his hands to wash away the red. He saw her last, his woman, no more then a victim of the fangs.
