THE CRY OF A MOSQUITO
A mosquito once cried
Why do you all always
Clap your hands
Whenever you see any of us
Some of you buy chemicals
To get rid of us
When you all know we're harmless and homeless.
An insecticide
Screamed from a corner
You're big liar
You blood sucking vampires
Not just that
You also go around
Spreading diseases; eg malaria.
A human replied
You're

Vampires in the Night
beautiful, on the face of mine
when you will make a plea,
in an language only we speak
you hint me to meet by the lake
you walk through the woods
with an lantern in one hand
to jumping into my arms
when we meet at the lake
bats flying across the dead sky
and haunted mansion that whispers our song
may we be

The Energy Vampires
Have you ever experienced the energy being drained out of a room, when someone unknown, enters?
You may have met one!

Vampire Vexation
Eeevile in the realm of the Undead
Chilled blood red cold
Vampire vexation - sexy at best.
Wrapped in comfortable uncomfortable silence
Silence so sharp - you can feel the fangs at your neck.
Sanctimonium or sanctimonious
Vampires dripping of sophistication
They make a show of letting you know
That morally they ARE the BY FAR
With eyes so dark, so deep, so very

Vampires and Mosquitos
Vampires and Mosquitos, they’re both out for blood each in their own way, one sucks the life out of you and the other just wants a taste
But when it pertains to love there is a big difference between the two, you my love were like the vampire but a little like the mosquito too
You swooped

In shadows they linger, draining light's hue,
Emotional vampires, consuming what's you.

Addiction a life without pie
A life without pie
Come On we can't stay young
Tomorrow knows the past
We have no choice
Since birth
You've been wild with a demon voice
In a forest with no paths
We follow the sun and the moon
In a city with lonely city lights
A town at least knows you're around.
We all are found
With barely enough
Air

Vampires Wig Idea
Halloween wigmaker had a ghoulish garish way
inventing unique creations that made vampire’s day
how about a new wig made from an amputated head?
In a few hours it would smell bad the wigmaker said.
What if you used doll heads? The vampire suggested.
If you bring me the dolls, so the vampire invested.
People on the street yelled, kicked, gagged

Haunted Heart
It’s in the head
The voices no one heard
The screams and yelling of millions nerd
Dragging bodies soak in blood on the ground
The disgust only my heart could feel in dread
Illusionary images on wall like pictures in frame
Voices echoing from inside and outside
It is absorbing yet intense
Broken veins loosing blood to parasite
Dead humans lying in

Strange Vampires
"Strange Vampires"
all those years
ago, when conspiracies
flourished around
did we or didn’t we go
to the moon, when we
were once human,
proved to be lies,
whichever way
the dark shadows
conveyed it.
the truth
came out much later,
that the moon
wasn’t made of cheese
but uncannily like a story
of Jedi simulation,
it was a hollow starship
anchored, monitoring us

Ninth
duskfall creature,
tipsy on the blood of the covenant,
tell me, when did you pull the ninth card?
when your fangs grew in
and your eyes grew tired,
what made you build the castle walls?
the sunlight burns, you protest,
every silver-backed mirror a reminder to forget.
close the books, put down your stakes,
because the real world doesn’t work like that, creature of

Incisors
For the Beauty Pageant
Her selling front teeth,
Whose absence is a myth
For a smile with intent,
Yoga is the breath
While you bare their breadth
Their extraction kills the sweet
In indulgent kiss,
Keeping them white a feat
To one who wouldn’t a tooth miss.
Also useful to vampires
And their reprehensible agents
Assuredly stretching their empires
And

Halloween Ghost
Locked in the frost,
Halloween seems like a gatepost,
Fantasies turn into a permafrost,
Pumpkins next to the doorpost,
Vampires at the rearmost,
Ghosts at the bedpost,
Wolves at the aftmost,
Midnight clocking the midmost...
Sunrise cleansing the defrost.
