Carmilla

Through these cold dark nebulae eyes I,

watched colossal flames ravish cities,

saw meteor's golden trail wink past all,

from the jagged outcrop of my castle

The sliding blur of years, earth smearing

through fire dusted space, pulling me.

And in my ancient body yawned cold-

blackest maelstrom, hungry as I was old,

still, armed with moon fresh countenance

The bell rings, wailing reverberation

off the dead stone walls of my ribcage-

alone, alone, alone, and in the moonlight,

stretch and contort faces, portraits so aged.

Names I knew, names I forgot.

The clock, mercilessly swinging its hands,

humans, thrust between dust and soul;

furling and unfurling your blooms, and

leaving me frozen in timeless cold

Quenched. Warm human hands, and

blood, blood on my hands too,

scarlet smile in moonlight, aren't I sweet?

Taking so they fall down into my blue

black maelstrom, that engulfs me to eat

I love you,

the red carpet from your neck inviting,

my soul leaping to your heart's drum.

I saw you in helpless state, cold biting,

As I stalked behind window panes, sighting-

Your soul's light dancing behind clear blue eyes,

Slender warm hands fit perfectly in mine,

And alone, in the tomb of my mind,

I know I am going to eat.

Sorry.
