Transylvanian Gothic

"In the bordering mountains and city streets of Transylvania, the seductive starved immortals appear." quote by poet

Restless is the shadowy inky night,
Even as full moon hangs in possession,
Enthralling hour drench shine encompasses
Fields of living crimson blood lunar light.

A shrill prolonged whistle in the distance
Of alien presence, stalking trickery,
Dialectic abduction, and murder,
Behest by Inhumans complete the night.

Take heed to persons who are brave enough
To be out in the dark, lanterns in hands
Of unsteady fingers, and stumbling steps.
Take any beyond dire utmost caution.

Don't stare paralyzed at red eyes that glare
In ominous dark, warnings of danger
With fear or murdered by a single bite
Of the charismatic hungry vampire.

I love dark poems. I have a few of them waiting. Hope you are safe with those storms in Texas. Here it is serene.
