A Deadly Kiss

The moonlight shined off her hair,
With beauty beyond compare.
The starlight captured in her eyes,
Too bad tonight is the night that she dies.

The pounding he feels in her chest,
Puts any doubts of this to rest.
The blood pumping in her veins,
Makes the hunger override his pain.

He loves her without compare,
But this night her blood she'll share.
His immortal heart will break,
Their first kiss sealed her fate.

As the hunger takes control,
The blood lust begins to take its toll.
As his fangs breaks her skin,
Her death does feed his sins.

His immortality made him pay a price,
No one ever said vampires lives were nice.
Now she's dead in his arms,
He swears not to fall for another's charms.

As tears of blood roll down his cheeks,
He holds her and doesn't speak.
At first this life was fun,
But now he vows to meet the sun.

This is a great albeit, dark write, of course I write some dark stuff too, but this is the bomb, it makes me want to have a vampire bite me, I actually wrote one myself, hope you approve. PLEASE add some more poems and shine some of that talent for other to see, you are terribly gifted and its been stunted by inactivity lately, I'm begging!!!!!! Love you, Love Dreary Leerie
