A Vampire

The soporific sound of rain
Falling on the shingled rooftops
Induces his subconscious brain
to summon id with every drop.
The instinctual impetus
craves immediate primal need:
vitality that flows through us
tonight the innocent will bleed
to quench within a burning fire
that’s required to tame his soul
forever damned:  a vampire!
that roams and stalks celestial
darkest nights for unfortunates
to engorge their blood to excess.
