For the sun
to set
I wait.
Heart pounding,
beads of sweat
forming on
my upper lip.
My breath
comes quickly
as darkness
cloaks me
in a shawl
of anticipation.
Suddenly
you are a
shadow on the
moon.
I tie back
my hair
with the hem
of your cape,
tilt my head
to one side,
and close
my eyes
to the
madness
which follows.
Your strike is
sure and quick.
With a beating
of wings
you are gone.
I shiver in
the night air,
yet my neck
burns.
Through the
insanity
I know too well
that to-morrow
the blood red sun
will have to
set,
and once again....

I will wait.

I have never liked vampires, well at least not until I saw the movie Blade...

Well done Chris.
