A Kiss Before Dying


Waken “Child of Darkness” from the point of no return
A soulless creature in Hell you forever burn
Skin transparent pale winter white
Seeks  victims unsuspecting in the black of night
Footprints soft and silent,  never will they hear
Powers from the crypt, it is you that they fear
Warm flow of blood, thirst too  lust
Powerless to fight, relax in your touch
Pounce the tiger with fangs of death
Useless struggles to draw one last breath
Feed upon mortals forever stay alive
Thrill of the kill in this you thrive
Offer the gift , or to let die
Life’s red blood wine drunk till dry
The master at work chills to the bone
In misery’s moon never walk alone
Creatures of darkness softly sighing
Forever offer a last kiss before dying

Marina,
I agree with Joel....very good and excellent images.  Kind of makes you think.  Loved it too.

"The master at work chills to the bone..
In misery's moon never walk alone."  My favorite part of this poem.   James

Loved the eerie feelings of helpness portrayed throughout this piece Marina, wonderful work!!

Very Well Done Marina.

Great Imagery in this.  

 The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, not the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship."

ooh girl...now i gotta sleep with the light on  
wow this is awesome...very cool poem
very deep and perfect imagery.
loved it
take care, jm

 Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders
And it makes me want to touch you there.
And the light in your eyes makes me feel
Like there's something much better out there
Something kind...
And I know someday I might be looking around
Trying to find some purpose
Well purpose it can't be that hard to find
As long as I've got the wind...
The wind and your love to carry me.
