The Vampire's Kiss

Brought before the elders

Anchored here

Seeking the vampire's kiss

Chained by fragments of lust

Abrasive diamonds

Burning agony inhaled by lungs

A self-inflicted poison

Toxic

Taken in micro-doses

With eyelids shut and heart open

Aching

Tied to a barren future

Erosion splits those atoms

Delineating truths

With resonance cascading

Schrodinger's remorse

Guiltless

Beguiled by a shelter still refused

Now dwelling in shadows past

Remembering

Old Fezziwig and dance

With delicate occult encryption

Magic inked

I paint myself with colors cursed

Weaving out of this delusion

Parasitic

A self I barely recognize

Sanguine falsehoods reconvened

Congressional remorse

And constellations hastily rejoined

I stand before the mirror flushed

Manic yet mannequin

To stab myself with plastic teeth

Stark rejections of modernity

I state my case

In places where craven images abound

With new takes on original sin

And graven effigies carved

Made to cradle all its novel kin

A promised land I built of old regrets

Never bitten by the bug

Or the contagion of this destiny

So I am bound to past illusions

Volunteering wearily

Self-hypnotized, all up in knots

Self-sacrificial in my madness

With hungry mouth

Seeking the vampire's kiss
