~~Love Eternal: A Vampire Story Told in Free Verse~~

Reach for the covers

To cover the shine

Of my milky skin

I hear a murmured

Laugh

My eyes shoot

To the corner

Of my room

And let

The covers

Lie there

"Hello again....

"Do you remember me?"

I stare in wonderment

And whisper

"Master...?"

He smiles

Laughs slowly

And approaches

The moonlight

Shimmers

Upon his skin

He presses

One long

Slim finger

To his lips

"You don't need

"To call me Master

"Little one...."

I shiver at the sound

His familiar voice

Bringing the memories

Of many years ago

Back to me

The gasps

The whimpers

The blood loss

And then the shattering end

The fleeing

In order to escape

The villagers

And my husband

So many years ago

I blush, and look

Into the deep red eyes

And he smiles

Ever so softly

And says

"Come with me."

And I go
