Vampire State of Mind

A Poem by Mohamed Hani

I rise in the dark; I’m a creature of the night
I’m creeping on you; giving you eternal life
Making you hate the sunrise; and love the moon light
You’ll live in immortality of sadness for the loss of your life
Now, do you feel the coldness of your sleek skin?
Do you feel the warmth of your own blood?
Do you feel the thirst? A bloody kiss is all you need
Let the demons inside you grow, a night stalker you became
Gleaming teeth, unsheathing claws, poisonous breath
With a glimmering eyeball that lies for a kiss from a vampire

Life after death, living as a vampire
Lonely existence in the cold and darkness

With a kiss from the moon and a sting from the sun
Started to wonder how long would this last?

The hunger, reached to the point of no return, what’s done is done
Trickling blood shared in passion, sweetest taboo, pleasuring desire
We be the night shadows, the darkness, the ghosts, the nightmares, the dark angels
Lurking in the shadows, waiting for the night to fall

Your demons will grow, and will always live thirsty for a bloody kiss
