Bride to her Beloved


He was the dark magic maker
A mere once mortal man
Traveled through hell’s half acre
To make her his queen, now damned

His constant companion and lover
Reborn by him to darkness
So many secrets to uncover
His gift given, no less

Love be their conviction
In discovery of Heaven and Hell
A future beyond prediction
Knowledge through his death knell

She rouses through birth pangs
Flawless and perfect, in every way
Hungering, to use new firm fangs
Alas, but soon the light of day

Her mortal body dead and gone
Now she slumbers in coffin
Glimpsed, her last break of dawn
Sleep now, as he has done so often

Awaken…….As the bride, to her beloved

So much like the tale of Rice's, I love V's
I have a whole collection, tapes books. haha
God so many,
I love this little series.

Thanks Marina.

Joel.

 I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.

Now that you mention it I can see specific phrases that remind me of Rice's stories as well. I've read so many vampire stories that it's hard to find something new. I too have quite a collection. The line I found most striking was "Knowledge through his death knell" I prefer the idea of rebirth in vampires as opposed to a curse. A refreshing poem.

Beautiful, dark, enigmatic... the way a vampire is.

Thank you to all of you...

These series of Vampire poems are in fact based on the Anne Rice novels.  I very much enjoyed them and couldn't help themself in writing a little poetry on them.
