A Vampire's Tainted Love

by Sheryl Hanna (7 Jan 96)

I am the oldest living vampire,
I know the one that gave you your dark gift,
At dusk in the swamps of Louisiana.

It was here in France,
At the theatre that we first met,
Your auburn hair,
Your deep blue eyes,
Your Creole beauty,
Arouse me that night,
Suddenly I realized it was you
Only you that I desired.

For centuries love, I have not known,
Until now when I met you,
It's here in my heart that you will remain,
For no one shall ever take your place.

Come to me,
Let me touch your pure, untouched soul,
With my knowledge,
With my experience,
Let me caress you in my arms,
Let me taste the sweetness of your sanguine lips.

We are eternally entwined just you and I,
As we cross oceans of time joined in romantic ecstacy!
