In the Dead of the Night

Gaunt and white
Ashen to dead
The night awakens
For the living dread
 
A full moon high
Induces their want
Blood of the live
Their silent haunt
 
Maiden or man
In peaceful sleep
Blooded rewards they crave
In their nighttime reap
 
An open window
On a moonlit night
As a darkened angel
In quiet flight
 
A mist drifts
As she appears
A silent victim
In unknown fear
 
Her neck omitting 
A scent of feed
As this vampired dark angel
In wanting need
 
Slowly she encroaches
As her victim stirs
Revealing more flesh
This vampire's spur
 
Mouth agape
Her intention set
The need of her
In blood lust wet
 
Punctured skin
As her teeth sink
The draining of life
In darkened drink
 
The mist reappears
As the night folds
This vampire's victim
Left in ashen cold

Dark and vivd images in this piece. I agree with Carolyn about this being true to the vampire essence. Thank you for so many thoughtful comments today and for sharing! Love, Robin

Amazing write, James, and so similar to a dream I had recently. "A mist drift as (he) appeared" at my door. Not a nightmare; actually, a very sensual dream. Luckily, the vampire and I became friends and I was not "left in ashen cold." In fact, he never took a bite. There is quite an erotic nature to this write - "The need of her in blood lust wet." Really enjoy the way you convey both fear and lust, true to the vampire essence. Great work, Highlander! Love you, Carolyn
