Vampiress

Her layered grin dark crimson sodden
A holocaustic blazing from dead eyes
Enduring eternities of trodden waiting
Emerging ravenous from cocooned disguise
Cleaving searing with bloody daggered fingers
Devouring the radiance of the psyche infantile
Remorseless fearless hunter of dark obscurity
Licking sated scarlet drips off her lips so vile
Consumed disease her senses searching
Her venom running down that timed chiseled face
Her prey naive of malevolence that’s stalking
Enveloped in misted night without sound or trace 
The lifeblood ingested empowers insanity
Resurging her vampiric senses long inert
Crying for innocence to satiate her cravings
Shadowing out the meekly finishing her work
Hovering over the pale chalked corpses
Proclaiming victory to all those of night
Dread the rise of this midnight huntress
Fear her fervent demon bite.
