Vampiric Monologue

Stabbed with a pike,and all is ash
Crisp in autumn, aflame in light
Running water, a powerful border
Together in Night
The elements hate us,
You and I

But, what are we?
Children, no doubt
Evil?
No more than any other
I'd call us romanticists

For what is more glamorous
Than the heart bleeding
For a pitiful thing
Called love

Yes!

Now this is a good poem!

You're on to something now, in a good groove; just keep going in this direction and be encouraged that you are on the right track.

I really like this poem.

(I feel better now because I have talked to Silke on the telephone, and I will call her again in an hour. I nearly died over the weekend, not hearing her voice. Addiction was never so strong, never so sweet.)

I am in unbreakable solidarity with you, my fellow poet!

Here's something Silke and I always say:

*Hoffnung und Widerstand*
(Hope and resistance)

And here's something else we like:

AD ASTRA PER ASPERA
(To the stars through difficulty; this is the motto of the state of Kansas)

I get so excited when you respond to my fleeting attempts at poetry! That's okay... I need a life.
I think you and silke are so cute and have a passion for each other that is envious.
Keep her well so she may do the same for you!

I try so hard to write poetry that seems worthwhile. It is flattering to have you tell me that you liked this one and here I thought it sucked. I don't even have a style... I just write it the way my heart says to. My heart is all sorts of stupid and there in lies the problem, eh?

blessed be!

Blessed be.

Do you like the White Stripes? I do. I love their lyrics, especially the song "We're Going To Be Friends," which I am listening to right now. I might post some White Stripes lyrics on the site sometime.

Do try to enjoy your life, and don't put yourself down; this poem of yours is really cool, and I love it. And, hey, I'm a veteran ASCAP lyricist, so take my word for it, OK?

I wish I had a strobe light in this room...

Stay cool, and keep writing poems like this. Vampiric is a good, good word!

AD ASTRA PER ASPERA

Oh,a DARK poem!
Very Good!

(Thanks Selina,for the kind e-mail you sent me!*Happy*)

Take Care,
Silke

most of my poems tend to be dark.
I have an unrealistically positive and chipper persona so I gotta be sad somewhere!

Thanks for the kind words, silke!

Aww.. A vampire poem and dark too... That is an inspiration


night has fallen
the moon is bright
fog hovering in the streets
he is awakened by the call of night
and a yearning deep within
dressed in black
with pale skin glistening in the moonlight
he will prey once again on the innocent
licking his lips with desire
he chooses his victim
suduces with charm and power
takes them to his chamber below the city limits
in a broken down cellar
one bite one scream out like a light
drinks from the wound with delight
the vampire has struck again

I agree with Silke & +Goofball,

Your poem is very well written and engaging. It is very refreshing to me... different. Yep, I'm sure. I really like it. It's got great style. Well done, well done, well done. I wouldn't change a word. Thank you for sharing it.

Your poetic friend,

Kevin
