(mortal's verses)

In dusk and dark
You wander endless
Cursed by the Gods
Forgotten, friendless

Cruel alabaster, your skin
Pale as winter's skies.
Red as blood and roses
Are your guarded hunter's eyes

I hear you sing in setting twilight
I hear your suffering sighs,
Distraught by your own immortality
In torment, I curse your cries

Your presence like a whisper
Following me by guise of night
You haunt beneath my shadow
Lingering just behind my sight

Every toxic breath I take
Steals strength from me
Will you let my body crumble,
As all else in your eternity?

This desolation you despair alone
Is not a burden you need bare
I'll end this conqu'ring solitude,
If your bittersweet gift you'll share.

Darkest, Dearest one
Love's arrow has not missed
Let Death know no hold on us;
Bestow your Vampire's Kiss.

(immortal's verses)
Radiant with life's embers
You cannot so appreciate
This beauty in the delicacy
Of your fleeting human fate

Warm as my forbidden sun
Is your glowing, enlivened face
Heart dancing in it's rhythm
You emanate earthly grace

Remote, I watch by distance
As actor recused from the play
You are vibrance beyond reach
In my world of gloom and grey.

Hearing your cries to join me
Afflicted by your longing calls
My mind aflame with conflict
My reason twists and crawls

No pretty verse can soften
The cruel vampiric foil
No poetry could romance
Loss of this mortal coil.

But my morbid marionette
If it is eternity you will bare.
My sanguine gift I'll give you
If it is eternity you will share.

Darkest, Dearest one
Love's arrow has not missed
Let Death know no hold on us;
Accept my Vampire's Kiss.
