A Vampire's Kiss
Let me stroke your hair
Let me touch your skin
Give me just a taste
Tilt your chin
Lips upon your throat
Fangs within your veins
Sipping at your blood
Feel the pain
Cold may be my touch
Do not stop to think
You will be on fire
As I drink
--Esther Spurrill
She bloom'd, though the shroud was around her,
locks o'er her cold bosom wave,
As if the stern monarch had crown'd her
The fair speechless queen of the grave,
But what lends the grave such lusture?
O'er cheeks what such beauty shed?
His life blood, who bent there, had nurs'd her,
The living was food for the dead!
From the May 4, 1822
