Click hereNight watches the shadows
Flying across the moon
Coming like a silk sheet
So soft against the skin
Night watches the shadows
As he slides into your room
Like a cat he purrs your name
Eyes full of flame
Night watches the shadows
Slide up close to you
Feel the hands on your flesh
As he reaches for your soul
Night watches the shadows
When he pulls back your hair
Kissing your neck
You wait, breathlessly
Night watches the shadows
Come alive in his hands
As he pierces silky skin
With fangs so sharp and white
Night watches the shadows
As you die beneath his stare
You become......
The shadow the night watches

Eluardabout 17 years agoThis reversal at the end is very nicely done, and really makes the poem sing. The imagery that precedes it just gradually prepares the reader for the twist.
My only other thought was that vampire imagery has become so commonplace that one needs to ratchet up the erotic imagery to make it effective. But that is not really your purpose here: you are telling us what we know very well in a new way.
