The Beast whom I Love

A young woman talks of an encounter with a vampire, who she fell in love with......

The beautiful, god-like creature
Stood by a gently flowing river
And beckoned me with his brilliant eyes
How I wanted to swim in his eyes!
The marble skin was ghostly
In the pale moonlight
And the water did not show
His reflection
The sweetness of his very existence
Pulled me slowly and cautiously toward him
I was drawn to the intensity of his very being
And felt as if I had never seen anything else in my entire life
But his mind-controlling face
I felt arms wrap around my slender waist
And pull me nearer to him
Then his snow-white fangs
Pierced my amber skin
And left a burning sensation
In its wake
A wave of thirst burned my soul
And consumed me
Holding me captive
To be a dweller
Of this eternal darkness
