A VAMPIRE'S GARDEN

There is a garden
where very few can roam,
a winter garden not very far from home.
Come closer,
I am alone.
Go past cobwebs glis’ning like grey ghosts.
Come closer,
you're the one I want the most.
Go through the gloaming
into my garden of ice and snow,
blooming with rich roses, velvety black and red,
each with perfume of love and the dead.
As I sleep below the roses
loneliness has leached my skin and veins,
I need the love that ebbs and flows
or I will go insane!
Just a sip from your succulent breast
will free me from the pain.
Dig deep beneath the thorny layers
and feed me from your heart
then we can share the midnight hours
and know my magic art.
How I hunger and thirst for your love!
Just a smear will give me power
to become a god again.
Without it I will fade away
like a rose at summer's end.
Come closer,
we are alone...
