Vampire Poem - 'Romeo'

Haunting streets of blackest night
touched by moonlight, is she not?
While brittle stars glitter hard and blind
above one cursed to endless life.

Clothed in a mantle of mortal flesh
to deceive the victim of such thirst
as humankind has ever known?

Sex and death lovingly entwined
celebrate me, mourn me
within the same breath
My sweetest Romeo, my captor
even in death, he still bleeds for me.
