~ Kryptic Echos~
A Blood filled Tear>
Skin like velvet, moonlit kissed,
You dance for me through the mist.
Body full with promise, here you sway,
Tender flesh so hot as you lay.
Your fingers caress in gentle longing,
Expressions of love simply belonging.
Music rises and blood's song sings,
Ears full as your throat heat clings,
To my cold lips as they gently brush,
Your nape quivering in the anticipated rush,
With a shudder you feel the tooth's sharp bite,
Then ecstatic oblivion as you yield to the light.
Morns promise breaks and with regret we part,
A dream, a memory, a work of haunting art,
Still you wake and long for the night,
For the mist, the dance and ecstatic light
Till dusk then bathed by dark I shall rise,
Anticipating your velvet skin and deep sighs.
Once more the night is wrapped in mist,
I am the shadow that bathes this unlikely tryst.
Silken movement and gentle promise might
Make these words unspoken ring loud in the night.
Still we move in bloods red dance
All but forgotten, the world lost to our trance.
So we dance in this dance of death,
Loves promise expelled with each breath.
Gently spinning down we fly,
Warm wind in the blood red sky.
You look in these eyes and truly you see,
Deaths reflection looking at you, looking at me.
Smiling thus you let me drink,
Deeper into my eyes you sink.
Light expelled and smiling thus,
Darkness claims you as to all it must.
Brushing your hair from your closed eyes,
I weep, no more will the world hear your sighs.
Love betrayed by a thirst so bright,
Your laughter still ringing out in the night.
No more, no more will my lips touch
Such beauty, dead flesh is all my lips brush.
The blood that runs from these eyes you see,
Is for the loss of you and truly of me
Creation song
Do your sweet lips taste this blood that is mine
Does it mingle with yours, a drink divine?
Would you suckle deep on this elixir of life?
Do you feel its power to cut like a knife?
Drink of me and let it take you to pleasures new
Climax with emotions few could believe flare within you
Succumb to my heat, to my heart, to me
Become lost in rapture from which you will never break free
Shiver now as the bond takes hold
Let heat defuse into welcome cold
Close your eyes and drink anew
Bonded are we in blood red through
Sinews taut and lips pressed wide
You seek the rapture only I can provide
Drink now my love and stand immortal
Step gently with me through death's dark portal
Untitled
Warm and wet the pulse it beats,
Life’s blood flowing through narrow streets.
Heat of passion climaxes and recedes,
Gentle reminder of physical need.
Still it beats as if on fire,
Light and dark fight and together conspire.
To lift each drop above the innocent and pure,
Bonded creation twisted and sure.
Open eyes and see the colours within,
Mingled blood flows through you and sings.
Hunger, lust and powers new,
The song of death sings just for you.
So you move and the hunger grows,
Blood all that will sate this, you know.
From shadow to shadow you silently move,
Stalking the blood, the hunger to soothe.
Creature twisted beyond all things human,
Tonight you hunt as beast not woman.
Blood lust carried you bite and drink,
Not knowing that with each drop further you sink.
Hunger sated you look at your kill,
Long gone are the heat, the hunt and the thrill.
In their place are the eyes of the dead,
Staring accusingly at you from the pallid head.
Horror rages and shock takes hold,
Gagging you vomit the blood cheaply sold.
Wide-eyed and manic you run from the scene,
Stricken with fear at your deed obscene.
Heart it hammers within your dying flesh,
Pain racks you as if wrapped in mesh
You clutch at your stomach, a ball of pain,
Humanity lost never to be found again.
Cold heat of the distant moon,
Reminders of love, it fades and you swoon.
Weak now and the hunger returns
The tears of blood run as you learn.
That woman no more but monster is true,
The hunger drives you, the things that you do.
Wanton and cruel you revel in sin,
You have released the real person within.
So you accept the reality of your fate,
Hunt you must for your hunger to sate.
Nothing personal, wanton or cruel,
You are God’s creature and not Satan’s tool.
Lady Of Darkness
Silent stone sentinels guard the approach
of the Lady; The Lady of Darkness
She returns from another mist enshrouded eve
Another of Night's hauntings procuring her a dark repast
A youth, eager for a night of lust
To bed a wench his only task to pronounce his manhood
But, the Lady soon cuts short his amorous attempts
For he was not really her equal, barely a challenge
Alas, the Lady misses the simple seductions
She misses the love of another being
The warmth and compassion of an intertwined coupling
The Lady quickly dismisses entertaining such foolish thoughts
of idyllic bliss and gives in to her morbid reality
Of eternal life alone
Upon the threshold
My soul given to this volatile love.
Unconstant emotions of my pounding veins:
the graveyard of my viscera.
My nails -thorns of dawn-
piercing your back.
My hell licking your bones,
My tears of blood spilling
through your womb of wind,
your sensual wings fluttering in my rest,
I'll be born again?
Frigid sorrows of the twilight
when we were witness every time...
Urge the poison.
Snake dance, buried in oblivion.
Farewell lips,
Cold dewdrops
I must die... one more time...
Merciful Dance
Writhing bodies clad in black
Flow past me as I stare.
Like beacons on a stormy sea
The lights around them flare.
Leather, velvet, metal, lace
These ornaments they don
Yet their necks remain unclothed For me to gaze upon.
Swirling through the smoke-filled air,
The music lifts their soul.
Succumbing to this sonic drug
Their minds have lost control.
I pull my cloak in close to me
And drift into the crowd.
I search each ghoulish painted face
As death looms like a cloud.
My angel's face appears to me
Amidst the swaying mass.
I glide to her through sound and haze
Ignoring those I pass.
My eyes fixate upon her skin
So smooth, so soft, so white
Her naked arms flail wildly
As she waltzes with the night.
I reach out, and I touch her hair
Which has fallen in her eyes.
She sees me for the first time now
And jumps back in surprise.
I grasp her hand and pull her near.
She's powerless to my touch.
I feel her warmth flow into me.
I want her blood so much.
But I can bring no harm to her
Despite my deadly urge.
As I stand there with my love
My heaven and hell converge.
I cannot make her who I am
To live eternally
Feeding off the innocent
As they die painfully.
And so I share a final dance
With her before I go.
I kiss her lips once, turn away
And let my hunger grow.
