UnEnding Hunger

A vampire tale.

So cold
I'm so cold
Warmth would sear me
Almost kill me
But I know this not to be true
I am so hungry
I am so thirsty
The night is on fire
I feel every living flame
Hunger is my pain
I seek food to quench this hunger
My eyes burn
The nightworld is alight
Crimson and moon droplets
I reach out, my talons eager
Gripping one of these flames to me
Digging into living flesh
I am starving for its life
I am desperate for its killing warmth
My fangs sharp and glistening
I sink them deep, puncture flesh
Life courses into me, hot and wet
I swallow and swallow and swallow
So cold is now so hot
It's like molten lava in me
The flame is dead and I remain alive
A fire burns in me once more
I am all powerful, I could do anything
And my magic that I do
Is holding undeath as alive

Oooooo, this is good! The words you chose to describe this feeding made me feel like I was feeding myself. You can feel the warmth of the fresh blood of your victim replacing the cold emptiness and hunger from the inside. "The flame is dead and I remain alive", satisfaction! Excellent write!

"holding undeath as alive"

quite like this line, Tina.

damn good coincidence...on the way home tonight my CD was playing the Stones' "She's so cold"

and yes, i was singing that while reading this journey into vampiredom....

nicely done.

i like the eerie touch each poem of yours seems to have.

This vampire has no love for her food, no guilt over feeding and killing. She is a true predator bent on survival. I like her. True to her nature.

Thanks very very much!

A very different t chilling vampire poem. Her tale is gripping.
Her food source isn't even seen as human.
I like this.

A very captivating and terrifying vampire poem.
We are all just little flames of energy and blood to the vampires.
Excellent poem, well done, very creative.
