Cursed

I bite into the cursed fruit,

And let the blood drip from my wicked lips,

Sweet and succulent like the devils succubus,

Like a thick aroma one cannot escape,

I feed on the red liquor drunk from pleasure.

I am not a slave to the hands of time,

Living within an eternity I am a spectre of the night,

Only the shadows to whisper my blackened name,

Yet echoing throughout time it shall remain,

Lingering in the ears of those deafened by screams.

Upon the nights chilled spirit I reside,

My legend carried upon the wind,

I am eternal,

I am cursed,

Without feeling or reason,

I may as well... be nothing but a shadow in the shade.

I bite into the cursed fruit-oh I recalled Eve just now! I conceived as if a vampire is narrating his life story! hauntingly beautiful!

[Jetta Zippora]

Beautiful, haunting write. Nice work, friend. :)

[Mark Anthony Games (Hum..]

Satisfactory for who?, write for your self, less obligations then. Not my usual flavor this piece but I liked it. I believe every writer achieves 'satisfactory' simply by having the courage to share, everything else is a sweet bonus. Humanity needs to learn to share, even if it is about Vampires or beasties, lol. Good work

[Brittany DeFranco]

I love it, is it about vampires? or other demons?

[Forgotten]

When I was writing it I had vampyres on the forefront of my mind for this, but like all poetry it is for your interpretation :)

[Dr. Wood ?]

I like the poem. When I was young. I thought I was blessed with bad luck. I learn with life. We are all cursed. Seem like we cannot catch up. Great description gave strength and life to the poem. Thank you for the excellent poem.
