Carpathian Curse

The light of the moon serves as source For my once beating heart, now still As I wander the lonely corridors of time Eternal, to grip my breathless, lifeless chest Each day’s a seductress, but surely my death For the awaking moon is my life, my morning To then search high and low for fulfillment Only to be left with blood of life, not my own Oh, the pain of the never aging flesh I retain It serves as the captor, the origin of my demise

Hi Michael! Like Christopher and Christie I was immediately drawn in by the title. As a regular visitor to these wonderful mountains, I wondered if it would have a Dracula theme. I was at Bran Castle only a couple of weeks ago. Anyway, I digress. After the draw of the title, I wasn't disappointed by the image dripping content. Another amazing write! Love, Nigel

This poem reads like a piece out of a shakespeare. I was drawn in Michael by your word choice and the images that you painted. I especially loved the fourth line with each day being a seductress. Great stuff.
