Vicious Romantic (3 page)
Authors: Wrath James White
Through their own remains
Recalling their sins
Forgetting recent failures
Seduced by the lights
They stagger toward the neon
Stronger than remorse
The rapturous scent of meat
The need for release
Draws them out of the desert
To try their luck once again
* * * *
Hunter’s Moon
Savage black eyes, coarse hair,
A smile full of razors
Muscles taunt and straining, fists clenched,
Jaw locked tight snarling
The moon turns black, a scent of sex,
A predator roars before the hunt
* * * *
Alpha and Omega
One final sunrise
For the last human on earth
Warms his trembling flesh
At peace with oblivion
He watches them come for him
* * * *
Just like Whores
He laughed at her fangs
And at her bloodless pallor
Who still believes in Vampires?
She was beautiful
A romantic dream of death
In satin and lace
Sensuous killer
Powdered corseted bosom
Cleavage splashed with red
Her black lipstick smile
Pouting like a spoiled child
Full lips like bloated leeches
Leonine canines
Rancid like an abattoir
From her last Romeo’s blood
He offered his throat
Let her drink just a little
One small taste of life
He watched her imbibe
Grotesquely slurping
Watched it trickle from her lips
Dripping down her throat
Between her lovely pale breasts
Licking her fingers
So very lovely
His blood on her swollen lips
His first vampire
So very lovely
He would have to remember
Each salacious cut
He took her slowly
Bled her of secrets and screams
He smiled contemplating
That vampires bled just like whores.

Vicious Romantic
A bed full of flesh
Crawling with flies and maggots
Old empty wallets
Dried roses and Valentines
Melted chocolates swirled with blood
Hungry for romance
The creature licks its fingers
Its stomach rumbles
It sprays musky pheromones
Compliments, lies, and perfume
It sings a love song
While stalking desperate lovers
Eager for the kill
It camouflages itself
As diamond engagement rings
