Reminiscing

I've stopped
taking human form
for some time now,
     more at home this way,
being caressed by the dark.

I've feasted so much
the taste of blood
is a permanent resident
                      in my mouth,
tickling my taste buds,
     draining
           the last bits of humanity.

In a moment
                of weakness
I fall to my knees
reliving my
       luscious feedings,
taking my creations
to a surreal level,
I stopped counting
                 ages ago
but each one
           still draws me closer,
each taste still 
           calls to me,
and forever
      that beautiful taste
rests on my tongue,
driving me
to the next,
    wanting
          but never needing,
how can I need
          with all the cattle out there?
