I aspire to be
deep asleep
later tonight
At that time
I will dream
that I shall be
seriously intertwined
with a sultry feminine
vampire concubine
who will suck
my essence dry
She will liberate me
from my bleak mortality
and I will finally be free
to be a nightbird
flying for all eternity
above this oblivious world
Sadly,
Come morning I will awake
in sheets soaked sweaty
and be forced to rise
from my living coffin
to blankly resume what passes
for normal zombie activity
Interesting piece Steve
ReplyDeleteCertainly not what I expected for the title but I like how you maintained the vampire-imagery throughout, ending with the coffin.
Very cinematic!
Keep on writing
Thanks for the encouragement Nada.... The vampire obsession in my culture continues to fascinate me
