The Starting Tale

Hear me out

This story starts long, long ago
When men roamed the earth on foot
Crossed seas with boats made of wood
Prayed to their gods for strong crops

A woman, lively and fair,
Combing her hair absently,
Into the courtyard lightly
Stepped without a thought or care

Wanton eyes her beauty spied
Dreadful blight inside this mind
No other maid could he find
Nor a more lush, ethereal bride

Hear my tale

Obsession spurs his action
He delights her with magic
Showing her card tricks, tragic
Plying her simple senses

Naive, sweet--a finer man
She had yet to ever meet
She bows, takes his hand to greet
Unrolls the glove on her hand

Kissing her pale skin, he smiles
Leads her dreamy, dazed, astray
Away from prying eyes, betrays
His guile succeeds;
Her throat bleeds

Hear her die

This is going to be part of the poems for my "Damned for Eternity" vampire novella, which I should put onto the site tomorrow for the first 2 chapters finally finally. I didn't want to post the comment before the poem as, if I did, the poem's ending would be guessed pretty easily. I think after all that joy from my prior poem today (the "Bask in Your Light" one), I felt a need to slip back into the deepest recesses to make up for it ;)

Moonlight Kite

I run with the kite in the field All the stars shining brightly The clear, moon-filled sky's expanse stretches wide String trailing behind me The kite lifts as I tug and pull A sharp jerk, I don't let it go Now, it's soaring high I let out more cord as it sails Above the ground, a sky ship Colorful in day, by night delicate Muted greys swerve and dip Yellow tails flutter from the bow As I slowly release more rope How far can it fly? Morning star on the horizon Near where the sun will be rising Dawn will soon arrive I remove small silver scissors Which glint in the twilight Setting the spool of coil onto the ground I look at the kite Kneeling down on my knees I snip the rope and release "Lord, send my prayers to him please" The kite, now free, rushes away My letter tied up with it sways With all of my hopes Every single word I could say I lay my head down on cool grass To find peace at last
