As horsemen ride by unaware,
skulls aflame in the eastern fire.
I draw the knife 'neath my chin.
My life, evaporating desert pools.
My love, struggling mantis meals.

Apocalypse thrives in the depths.
Cavernous, hollow stench permeates,
my dungeonous waking dreams.
Sunlit nights no longer protect,
from wamphyr thirst of lust.

Necromancer dances lightly,
upon my blood drenched soul.
gamesmanship his forte,
Playing jacks on my heart.
One'sies, two'sies, oop'sies, death.

I watch the horsemen ride.
Laser lash whipping joyously,
'cross the flanks of hatred's steed.
Casually glancing at beast and burden,
rushing forth in sweet anguish.

Blood soaked nightmares cherished,
in this spirit darkened by love's lie.
Pandora's song brings eternal blight,
the valkryrie's wolf-mounts feed,
As I pay Charon my single obolus.

I like dark tone of this poem but what the heck is a wamphyr?

Now I'm not a linguist but credible sources tell me that Wamphyr is the gypsy/slavic/transylvanian word for vampire.

Anyone who reads Brian Lumely should know as good as I....

Dungeonous.... can you give me something better Saxoness?

Let me think on it a while, I'll get back to you, you know it. :-)
Oh, and I love the neat Vampire word.

That is a very dark poem. Very well written.
Makes me wonder how close to the center of the earth you are.
