Vampire, Vampire,
Who cast no reflections,
That is your torment ? That is your horror ?
That is the nightmare you want us to share ?
The Terror’s face you want to see
Reflected on your victim’s face ?
Not the bite ? Not the pain ? Not the death ?
Not the night ? Not the hunger ? Not the life ?
All the fears that no mortal, no unliving distinguish ?
Vampire, Vampire ?
That is your blindness ?
The monster that prey you in fast black mares?
That is the face you hunt,
your pale face, lost to you
when you lost the living ?
It is your own visage, your own death-pale visage
that keep you roaming in eternal torment ?
That prevents you from Death’s resting Embrace ?
Vampire, Vampire…

-
I like the repetativeness of the poem. It gives a very good insight to the speaker of this poem, speaking to the vampyre in almost wonderment, perhaps fear. Nicely done.

One love,

Thank You Final Jest and Shadow of a Crow.
There a few reasons for enlgish, One is Blake's Tiger and the other is that I wanted that someone that read in english to read it
Great tip, Shadow of a Crow, many people live in a modern and glamorous interpretation of vampire myth and forget they must represent a torment. Someone who cast no reflections must have a hell of life. -
Great Write! I love all the questions! Makes a person think more than once or twice about a vampire's thoughts & actions. And your english is very good
-
You wrote that you don't write well in English...that's a lie. You are a great poet in both English and Portuguese. I would have written this in Portuguese but alas, it is extremely late and my brain has shut down. Another great piece of poetry.
