A Black Hearted Serenade

He promised her eternal life
On his holiest of days
He would turn her to his kind
And show her of his ways

His hair, black as midnight
With sapphire eyes that burn
His most exquisite features
Would make any mortal turn

His slender hand clinched her waist
Then he purred into her ear
“You will own my heart,
But that time is very, very near.”

“What must I do,” she asked,
To always be with you?”
He then paced madly
A gruesome deed must he do

He grabbed both her arms
Her soul must now depart
“I’m so sorry,” he said with tears
Then skewered out her heart

Screams and cries were heard
When they found her lifeless corpse
Missing her beating heart
The girl lives no more

Over lands old
Over lands of kings
Must he roam and return to
With her heart he must bring

He takes her heart inside
Tenderly with hands adorn
“If I shall be yours,
You must be reborn.”

Into the altar it goes
Into a deep abysmal lake
Of aged vampire blood
The pool begun to wake

Then all in an instant
The girl reappeared
Pale and perfect
Stoic and revered

She does not live
For her heart beats no more
She will now lead eternity
With her earthly routines on the floor

She stares at her new love
Drenched and bare
He ran to her and kissed her hard
Running fingers through her hair

Even now they are together
Their passion is still true
Each day they sleep
But each night is new

Their love will carry on
Until the world ceases breathing
They will still ache for each other
As if it was first meeting

    Great.
    I loved the last line because it shows that they have done it before.

    Really good rhyming.

    Well, I've been a mortal once or twice and found that it doesn't really ring my bell, but, then again, when I go to my own dark and silent planet, I wonder around and have heard wings, dark ones with pink and bluish smears on them, behind me in the deep blue black air there, and she whispered once to me to just stand still ... am considering it .


    this is just entrancing, keep up the good work ... all trophies well and excellently taken

    This poem was really good. I don't really understand it though. Why did she have to die?

      It's just like most vamp stories. You have to die to become undead. He tore out her heart to remake her in this case, instead of turning her in her old body. Just one of my many strange fantasies I guess .

    Hannah Hannah,
    You lovely beast
    What you have written
    My eyes will feast

    It's lovely and true
    I think I said this before
    But you'll never know
    How much this poem I adore

    So I comment again
    If I could, I'd all night
    But to comment only once
    Simply is not right

    So Hannah,dear one
    You've done it again
    I cannot fathom
    What life would be like without your pen

      My dearest Sam
      Your words never cease
      To confound me
      Esoteric beauty
      In your diction
      That makes me wonder
      That make me smile

      Your mind is a pool
      Of brilliance
      And hand not only writes
      But creates
      Such pieces
      I only dreamt of making
      From my mind

      I await the day
      That see each other
      Again

    It has love, blood (my fetish), but where's the dark? Wheres the emotion that brings the poem through the darkness? Did this even skim the surface? We'll find out at judging time...

    Thanks for entering, and good luck...

      Hmm...I personally thought that the actions performed were dark. I mean, it's not everyday a vampire wants to turn you then rips your heart out because he loves you. The imagery is probably a little too vague for some. Although I would love people to see what I see when I wrote this...
