Duke of Darkness

  Recently, I have read some books about vampire and I have written a poem to express my feeling towards them. This poem is also my impression of a book, interview with the vampire; it is really a worth-reading book. If you are interested in vampire stories, it will be a good choice.
                                                                  Duke of the darkness
            When the last sunlight fades away in the sky,
                                                           death will shroud the whole city.
                                Reviving in my coffin.
                                                             walking between life and death,
                                                                following the scent of blood, 
                        oh, the enchanted fragrance! 

    

                         Crucifixes, garlics, stakes
                  put down these ridiculous things,
                       they are all tricks for me;
                           come to me, beauty, 
                                                   using your blood to warm my icy body,
       and flush my unnatural mask of skin.     

                         Fragile mortals,
                      death is your destiny.
       But what does die mean
           when one can live until the ending?
            And the “ending” itself means nothing
                      more than a phrase to me.
       
            My pain, my struggle, my misery,
                                                      my soul buried under the earth deeply.
                      God has deserted me  
              and never spared His mercy.
                                                                  Everything is nothing,
                   when the sky is paling.

    1. Thanks. By the way, do you like vampire stories? If so, I recommend Interview with the Vampire; it's very interesting!

  2. I like this poem, though I cannot fully understand it, especially the new words for me. From what I can understand, it is very beautiful, and also interesting.

  3. Vampire is a very miserable kind of creature. They struggle hard to survive in this world. Poeple are afraid of them, but sometimes they also need our mercy and love, for they also have their inner feelings and the desire of love. This is my feelings of this poem.
