CURSED

Cursed

Night pitch as the raven full moon rising as the earth

dances like nymphs delighted by the summer solstice.

Heat of the night glistening off satin skin a need to feast

blood flowing through veins like a crimson river.

Flames burn unquenchable a constant thirst frenzied

mad and untamable until he has had his banquet.

Feeding upon the souls of the damned forever searching.

Night by night with diminished vision clouding the view.

Forever searching bound by the curse living yet stagnate

for all eternity.

Just something off the top of my head while watching a corny B Movie

Beautiful imagery. It seems as if the curse you depict is that of immortality (among other things) in that the perpetuity of life will eventually leave you "stagnant for eternity", though your heart may beat. It sounds, from another, perspective, like a leech who lives in stagnant water and feeds off the blood of those who enter. Well done, and nice photograph : )

Oh A perfect analysis Writer... thank you very much for reading... it means allot !! :)

[Writer #00]

A psychic vampire of sorts an eater of souls - I'm sure this wonderful work is so much more chilling and better penned than the B movie that spawned it. Nothing against corn and cheese. Sometimes the brain needs a break and in this case - it prompted a stellar poem

[Debbie_Philly]

LOL So true about the B movie and the brain needing a break...lol Thank you so much TL for that wonderful comment... its means allot :)

[Mark]
