Immortal being is on the prowl.

A young fledgling awakens at night
Experiencing only a moment of fright
Struck with an uncontrollable thirst
Thoughts of blood always comes first

Bursting from the cold hard ground
Dirt spraying from the grave mound
High up among the stars he flies
Soaring fast across the darkened skies

The scent of fresh blood is in the air
Leading him further away from his lair
His hunger will be quenched tonight
While the full moon is shining bright

The vampire suddenly attacks his prey
Not allowing his victim to get away
Overpowered by the dark embrace
Mortal’s heartbeat starts to race

Entranced by the vampire’s kiss
Victim is feeling pain-filled bliss
Trapped within the hypnotic spell
Entering through the gates of Hell

Nevermore will he be living free
His soul is doomed for eternity
Immortal being is on the prowl
Silence shattered by his howl

Others answer from far and near
Humans are trembling with fear
Beware when you go out tonight
You may fall victim to his bite

    Wow that was superbly crafted,the flo and rhyme were rock-solid and there was a sense of eeriness all around.This would have been a welcome addition to the infamous “White Wolf” universe.

    my deepest respect and gratitude,Darla
