The Bloodcurdling Bite

righton's picture

Her teeth flash white in the glimmer of light
Falling from her shoulders,
Red hair smolders
Sizzling like fire
You stare into her eyes that never tire
Leaving an icy blue shock imprinted onto yours
Blood pours
Seeping through her crimson lips, onto the floor she’s ravenous for more
Beauty stamps her face with a memorizing glow
Fingering your flesh
Meshing your blood
All into one
Seeping through the window pane the sun,
Sunken low into the depths of the night
Her face white
She crawls her nails up and down your neck
Slowly pursing her lips to a peck
You are trapped, under sheets like shackles locking you in place
Your mind paces
She grins unfolding her lips from a thin line
Sniffing your blood like wine
Twenty-two sharp fangs plow into your skin
Venom spurts releasing into your veins
Throbbing blood numbs your mind sinking you back
With a tumbling whack
The vampire sucks tasting away, bloodcurdling screams slip from your lips
The juicy red blood rejuvenates the monster with every sip
Her eyes grow vibrant as she releases savoring the freshness
Leaving the house
As quiet as a mouse
You awake, face a pallid scare
You pull the sheets tearing a pair
Of you
Brushing the scar sliding down you neck your eyes grow wide
Humans to the side
The want lingers like addiction growing inside bigger
And bigger
You leap from the window
Falling gracefully to the ground
Music sounds
Drawing you near
The sent is strong flaring your nostrils wide
You are not you
As you go for the kill
Night after night
Giving others that same chilling freight

mhmm... i like.

wow.very vampire-ish. i like it. mainly because i am currently extremely enthralled by the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. they too, are about vampires. but this is very intense. i really like it. especially "venom spurts" i dont know why, but when i read that, i cringed.
