Vampyre

To be
Vampyre
Is it damned desperation to live?
Or divine eagerness to die?
To see
Only in the brightness of Eternal Night
To feel none
Not even thy stilled heart
Dry as desert's breath, yet
The fount
Of Eternity
Thy time, lost with thy soulfire
Lost with thy heart's dew
Will thee fulfill, or deprive
Judge
Of eternal life and eternal death
Thy choice to take or give
Ivory on milky skin
Let me
Bleed
And live.
