Forever In Your Heart

They stay up late of the night,
feeding on words of life,

Never sleeping,
Always creating another poem.

Vampires of poetry,
people of the night,

Spend most of their time,
out of sight.

Vampires sucking life
through their veins,

Filling the holes,
Of their empty brains,

How did I become a poetry vampire of the night?

Maybe it's my addiction to the poetry I write?

Maybe I have always been a creature of the night,

One of those who thinks more,
When everyone else turns out their light?

Whatever the reason,
no need to be in season,
Halloween or not,

I am a poetry vampire,
Inspired by words of other poets,

Needing, feeding, on poetry
that sets the soul afire.

Challege if I may,
Challenge if I might,

What other poetry vampires,
will post their poetry tonight?

I am not alone,
for the question is,

Are you a poetry vampire?
lets be truthful and not a liar!

To all my friends...you poet vampires!LOL!

Indeed, the Darkness of Night and poetry dance beautifully together. Can be a most wondefully wicked sensation. Thank you, as I do consider myself a potic vamp.

well I mainly post during the day, but being Down Under that makes it your night when most poets are asleep, so I guess I could be a poetic vampire *G*
loved the poem
