Incisors gleam amidst the grime
accumulated over centuries
Nostrils flair with need,
lips curl in a grimace of desire,
as he smells the filling aroma
of dark red blood
Sensuous and caressing,
it calls for release -
Release from a decadent husk
of skin, bone and viscera
From an irritating voice,
grumbling its insignificant concerns
Talons, yellow with age,
scrabble beneath her window,
as his voice revels in its own
power of seductive persuasion
His mind whispers – obviously
she obeys, opening the casement
Unheeding of the malignant eyes,
she surrenders happily to his embrace
moaning in ecstasy,
as he devours her very essence
The blood pounds in his ears
as her hands clasp his cheek
Finished, he licks his now rosy lips
and sucks fretfully at his fingers,
pushes the carcass aside
and stretches in the darkness
Re-born once more and free
to enjoy the beauty of the night
