A Vampires Touch

In the darkness of the moon
I could see a shadow,
But too late did I realize
That it was you.

You walked up behind me
Without any warning,
Ready and willing
And wanting to feed.

And in an instant I felt your
Sweet warm breathe,
And my blood
Running free.

This warmness new
And frightenly friendly
And your teeth
Deep inside of me.

With my loss
My mind grew lighter,
And in and out
Of life I have seen.

As you finish
On your feeding,
You stop and share
Yourself with me.

Now once again
Reunited with life,
I am death
Wandering free.
