A Vampire

in the darkness of the night, i laugh downright
as i feed on mere mortals, and suck their life
what poor people, they have no might

a fellow, a woman, a few children here and there
just some ragdolls to the vampire world
they should be elimited with no such care

but just as i finished i spotted a man
with rough textures
and strong willing hands

he tried to run
probably getting help
but i couldn't just let him
no, that would be bad

(the man)

she materialized right before me
her strength and her ability
and with one small movement i was off my feet
staring down at this gorgeous beast

and i tried to wiggle
to break free
but she was too strong for me

so i stopped in my tracks 
and looked away
i could tell by the way my eyes got blurry
i was crying in front of her with such furry

(the woman)

this man is crying
what a pathetic loser
i would never cry on front of my enemy
but why can't he just stop already

i looked around and looked at him
his face was sad and yet so beautiful
he wore jeans with holes
and a shirt that fit every muscle he had
he was so mighty
this suddenly felt bad

i let him go and turned around
now my face showed a frown
i heard no footsteps
and thought maybe i already killed him

i looked back and he was just staring
he looked so shocked, scared, caring
what in the world i thought to myself
i finally let you go and now you don't run

i spoke to him with such force
"go away you bewildered man
you're lucky i have such pity for you
i would've just killed you soon"

(the man)

she likes me i know it
there is no denying
such a lost woman 
she needs guiding

so i bent down and kissed her
and her hateful expressions turned smoothe

(the woman)

and we were there together 
under the moon

Oh i REALLY love anything fantasy, but I am a hopeless romantic at heart and this feeds both of those desires, thanks for the comments on my work, they are much appreciated even if they are corny....Love, Aleera

Never before have I enjoyed a "vampire" story. This is such an engaging poem -- love the way it unfolds "under the moon." Quite a romantic write!
