Notes About The Poem

Alone


    I am dead and lifeless,
    Cold and of the departed;
Two hundred years of wandering the world,
      Forlorn and forsaken.
I lay in a crypt waiting for awakening,
      And I feel her passing;
She walks close to my resting place this day,
And I feel my hands move and my heart beat.

    I must have her sweet blood,
    Oh, I can imagine it on my lips;
I stir within my coffin and open my eyes,
      I breathe her dulcet scent.
My endless pain, existence a nightmare,
      This eternal life lonely;
Full of agony, darkness and deep anguish,
Oh, I moan and push back the coffin lid.

    Could this girl be the one,
    My soul mate for eternity;
Standing there in the twilight I watch,
      She carries red roses.
Stopping at a grave of many names,
      And then I am there;
Startled she screams and turns to run,
But she is no match for a vampire man.

    Her beauty is surreal to me,
    I embrace her in my arms;
And as I pierce her neck I hear her sigh,
      Oh sweet, the sweetness.
Her blood is like the richest of wines,
      I carry her to my grave;
And place her gently in my own coffin,
This twisted nightmare I will not endure. . . 

                                           alone

I keep hearing that same paragraph in my head. Perhaps, it is deja vu -- or, simply, a vampire's glamour....
