Joe Buddha Poet Free verse

Vampire's Lament

I lie awake within the walls
Of my midnight garden
Hoping to hear
One silver syllable
From your perfect mouth
But your eyes never open
You never wake
Skin soft against my kisses
Beneath the weeping willow
 
A river of darkness
Runs through my heart
Never eased by dawn’s grey slumber
And the birdsong scatters
With the sun’s rays
& my mind shatters
& strays
No longer afraid
Everlost in rain
