Vampyre

Vampyre

For you I'll come in shadow light,
sow my kisses darkness bright
upon your pale and budding lips;
hear stir your passion's cry.
Let me sip the restless wine
flowing from your virgin cup
and sup on nectar sweet
with roaring waves of pleasure.

Feel it call you...
engulf you...
engorge you...
its velvet touch
moist, tender.
Let it fill you...
complete you...
enslave you...
with its soft surrender.

Allow these midnight hands,
these wanderers of lusty greed,
to roam your fleshy tombs unspoiled.
Allow yourself to gasp, to sigh,
released by pleasant toil.

Drain we shall the essence from our youth
into our mouths,
slip past this wanton madness,
seek delights in death's kind sadness
as the music deep in thirst
permeates our souls.

Let go...

We'll begin again as ancestors
when violent earth was young, hungry,
devouring flower, root and tree
with lava flows, with thunder.

Set yourself free
from daylight's cruel entrapment
which cannot see
the dark and warm enchantment
waiting at life's end.
Come forth to me,
caress my cold embrace
where thoughts in
blackness swim.
Then...
feel the prick
sharp and quick,
live the depth of all my sins
which merges with your blood
and surges toward my empty heart...


And feel yourself fade away
into the endless night...
feel yourself fade away
into the endless night...
into the endless night...

darn it but the eroticism of this means i have to don overalls and install some air con in this room ... absolutely gorgeous, rrw. Lyrical, seductive and totally hypnotic! Perfectly orchestrated, a joy to surrender to ...

[dawness]

rrw, how alluringly frigtening! shades of pahntom of the opera! wow:)
----

devour me with your hell born rage
then calm me with the absence of your voice.
can you imagine the blood dripping
on walking skeletons?

[anirbas]

enters festooned in garlands of garlic from head to toe, carrying a cross of purest platinum in one hand, and flitting holy water from a vial about her three feet of moving space as she goes...tiptoes up to RRW and shouts in his dead ear: HELL OF A READ!

what a cypherical romp I just ingested orbitally!!!!!!!

far as that goes, what daring to craft a follow-up gem to it, DG!!!!!!!! LOVED IT!

Whew...I ain't got nuthin' as a follow-up to that initial offering...

clinging to my garlic, cross and holy water, out of the box i run, into the DAYLIGHT!!!!!!

Thanks, Shell. I worked on this one a little since the last time you saw it. It's interesting how I can look at a poem after it has set for a while and find things to change. Wasn't sure if this one fit here or on the dark board. Thanks for the read.

Thanks, Dawn, and what a wonderful start of a poem you have there. Want to see more of it.

hehehehe! You so funny and inspiring, Ani! To tell truth, I'm not a vampyre fan. But that whole seductive/addictive thing is real interesting to me. The Vampyre always seem to suggest lurid sexuality and heroin use that was prominent in the 19th century. Thanks for reading and I love garlic! ;D

[anirbas]

I'm not a total vampire fan, either...But, I do get the seductive/addictive metaphorical angles of it...LOL...One would have to be dead, not to get the eroticism found in the vampyrical legends, that had one meaning in Europe...And blossomed into something else, entirely,
in America...hahaha...I mean, Vlad the Impaler is about as erotic as sitting on a sharp tack...But, the Count Dracula crafted of Stoker's imagination was a different beast entirely...Than the true Dragule, yes?

Your welcome on the reading, RRW...Throughly enjoyed myself...Read it a few times, as a matter of fact...Counting again, a minute ago...

Hands RRW a breathmint to combat the scent of his love of garlic...hehehehehehehe...

Have a wonderful week, folks! Nir.


Oh, and imho, the piece belonged here...But, would have worked equally as well,
in the board of "darkness"...a coin easily double flipped so to speak...Again,
great work...Didn't think it could top the Wer...But, it tied it...Got more?

[rrw]

Thanks, Ani. Really good to hear your comments. I got one more for this board and here it comes....

[anirbas]

You're welcome... And I just read it if you're talking about the Twilight offering...Loved it!
It's nice to have someone down here at the bottom of the boards,
working in the dungeons besides myself...LOL...So, got more? Nir.

[rrw]

I really like the fantasy type poetry. Very magical and mysterious. I'm glad there's only a few of us here... But more would be just as nice.

[anirbas]

I'm just glad I'm not *alone* down here, anymore...It's nice
to have such fine company as Shell, Dawness
and yourself in the dungeon...*ggglgggl*...
I call it that, because it's at the bottom of the page...
Therefore, the dungeon...Few are drawn to do fantasy...
And it was starting to get scary down here in the dark
all by myself...LOL...

Man, everytime I re-read this vampirical offering,
I'm mind scattered by it...And so drawn to draw
my ornaments of garlic closer to me...Gives
me the willies, it does! LOL

Not as daring as Dawn, to poem
an invitation to the Count...
[great one, DG! LOVED IT]
But , a gitane knows...Once you invite
a vampyre...You're doomed...LOL...

Wonderous weekending, folks.
I dunno...I might not be outta here afterall...
I think I'm feeling the faint call of inspirationing...
Might be a false alarm...*ggglgggl*...Nir.

Vampyress

Your dark clarion call
of need, in your fruitless search
to find your equal but opposite
force in the paucity of a human
vessel, touches me, Count...

And so, by your desire I am re-awakened...
To stir hungrily in my jetted shroud and mantle...
Fingering the garnets circling my slim ivory throat
in agitated, ravenous anticipation...

Re-animated to give you what you need...
Not blood sacrifice...Victims abound in the darkness...
A tasteless repast that slakes not satiates your thirst...
Nothing more, nothing less...Nothing more...

I invite you not to me...But, I listen...
I hear...And I stir in the nascence
that I am and be...And I rise,
pitying your fruitless search
for that which cannot be...

The filling of your appetite,
but not your empty heart,
by the ingestion of the blood
of a human consort...

I gave up on drinking
human trash long ago, Count...
Learned to sleep between the sounds
of a skilled bat knifing through night skies...
My blood congealed then stiffened to dust in my veins...

But, I heard you, this eventide, Count Vampyre...
And your call has awakend the thirst in me...
As I arise, to flit the skies, in search of the scent
of your human fatted vampiracal blood...

For I feast on nothing but the best...
And you, darling Count, smell like dinner,
fine wine and chocolate for dessert, to me...
No hypnotized human victim am I...
I shall make of you first, my first meal in a thousand years...
For I am your equal but opposite force, a vampyress...
Rightfully titled or not, oft called Impress of Darkness...

Look out, Count...I'm right behind you...
Nay, right above the sweet spot...
This won't hurt a bit, sweet...
You won't feel a thing...
As you find your heart
isn't as empty as you thought...
Whilst your elitist vampyrical blood I drain...

But, I'll naught drain you to the last drop
as one would a draught...Nay, nay...
I give what I receive...And oncet
I draw you closer to death,
than you've been in a millenium...
I shall offer this blood to you...
That which shall not only slake your thirst...
But, satiate you to the point of stellar stillness...
As you drift on an inner tide of your own blood,
commingled with the ancient effluviance of mine...

Your dark clarion call
of need, in your fruitless search
to find your equal but opposite
force in the paucity of a human
vessel, touches me, Count...

And so, by your desire I am re-awakened...
To stir hungrily in my jetted shroud and mantle...
Fingering the garnets circling my slim ivory throat
in agitated, ravenous anticipation...

~Sabrina.

*ggglgggl*
thanks RRW and DG for helping
to tease out and release
the bats in my belfry...
now, i really am outta of here
and off to the land of nodz...
nightienight, sweet pretties...*t-he*

[rrw]

Ohhh, this is totality sweet! it deserves to be on its own thread... A wonderful job!

But

The wine is sweeter when taken,
love much finer when given,
but trust your age, sweet mistress night,
young blood lust is its own teacher...
Do you dream at night with the blood from my veins
whispering my velvet name? Do you feel me coursing
at full speed through your marble body?
Though there be wisdom in age,
youth does know a trick or two. My voice will haunt you
in your sleeping hours, my shadow will follow through the night,
and I shall be reborn like a memory sharp and bright,
like a thought lurking just beyond the light.
And you shall call my name with my kiss upon your lips
and death's warm touch upon your cold stone heart.

[anirbas]

I started to stick it in it's own thread...But, I hesitated as I didn't want you to think I was trying to steal your thunder...LOL...

Besides, the site I and some others are from, when so inspired by another's offering and or thread, we just rip a poem, in that thread...We call it, being bemused by one another...As sometimes, you can feel like writing and not have a thing in your head...Then read another's poem and your head starts clicking into gear...Often, whatever we write in another poet's thread, we reprise into a thread of our own to keep up with it...

Glad you enjoyed my brain gas...Your Vampyre has had me thinking of a flipped coin in my head for several days...It just sort of came to gel state, the other night in here...

But...IS GREAT! Have to think about that one, for a bit, too...LOL...See, if the "auld" Countess has anything to say back to it...

Really enjoying reading your writings. Wish you'd bring the picture you put in The Wer at 'Echoes, to the copy of it you posted here...Hint...Hint...Hint...It went fabulous with the poem! I started haunting the 'Echoes site, after reading Lauren, Vix and Shell, here, in search of more of their work...Found The Wer thread in there, too, that night.

Anyway, I can go on forever about poets and poetry, so shutting up, as the kids say.

Nir.

[rrw]

Thanks, Ani. I'm having fun here with you too. Looks like we got a Vampyre feast going... It's fun!

[anirbas]

Yesssssssss, my brother...We've even drawn the Father...ggglgggl...dodges flying bibles, crosses and stakes and such...Hisses from the corner...He ain't got me fooled! He's really a Lurch at heart!!!!! dodges more flying religious implements of torture...hehehehehe...i'm having to much fun in here today...somebody, send me to roost....Before Poe shows up
to clap us all in irons...t-hehehehehehehehehe...take care folks of the dungeon...and if you can't avoid the bloodsuckers in your individual lives, join 'em...or some such near rot...drain them, before they drain you sort of nirphilosophy...shutting up...bats in the belfry have gone to my head...nir.

[MsM]

A call I did heed...
Brought me here to read...
These lovely pieces by wondrous artists...

Lady Anirbas told me what magic I would find here and she was so right...

This thread and its poets are blowing my mind with their word play...

Just had to...though not should its ok for me to do so...I just had too write a line or two to you...word magic...rrw...amazing...

Amazing images...just lovely dark...

Well done you...and Anirbas...and all

[anirbas]

Bump. Bumpity bump bump.

Thought those that share an affinity
for all things vampirical
might enjoy this offering
rrw shared here, once upon a time

[darkness0within]

I wonder who you might be thinking of anirbas?

I'm slowly getting round the forums.

Really outstanding writes dotted around in this thread.

[anirbas]

Funny thing about hosting a poetry forum.
I found I'm just as proud of "my stable" of poets offerings,
as any of my own, Darkness.

And why, yes. You, of course, new friend.
