Reborn
~
Once bitten, twice shy?
No. Certain teeth leave pleasure
In their sharpened wake
Slicing tender skin
Teasing, taunting, drawing blood
Draining liquid life
Victim left sated
Basking in the afterglow
Of vampire passion
Recognition dawns
Dark eyes blazing with desire
Meet unfocussed green
Blood-stained lips agape
Vampire teeth retract in shock
Human heartbeat slows
Pale fingers touch skin
Gently brush small puncture marks
“Do you regret this?”
Anger blazes bright
“Was my zeal not obvious?
I regret nothing.”
“How did you find me?”
I’m but a monster, hiding
Bringing only pain.”
“Once again you’re wrong.
You bring the gift of pleasure,
Monsters don’t do that.”
“Believe what you will
The world sees me as monstrous,
Thus I hide from light.”
“Darkness suits me fine.
Cool and peaceful and soothing.
I tire of this life.”
“Suicidal, then?”
I shall look, discover why.”
Minds collide, time stops.
Gasp follows a hiss,
“Is there nothing they can do?”
Green eyes look away.
“Hear, then, my reply.
Immortality awaits,
If you can stand it.”
“If you drink my blood,
You become as you see me
Monster in the dark.”
“No monster are you.
I name you saviour instead,
Show me our new world.”
Once again blood flows,
Time stops, essences combine,
Old life is cast off.
Dark laughter mingles,
All who hear shiver, dreading
Creatures of the night.
