Notes About The Poem

Count Dracula

as midnight strikes
Count Dracula
sweeps across the floor
his piercing onyx eyes
locked on his prey
executes with artful grace
his macabre dance seduction

in one captivating swoop
charming the panting victim
she offers it up
as he sinks his teeth
siphoning  from the porcelain neck
her ruby essence
