The Vampire

For ages he had lived, a being scared of the light
His strange feeding habits were giving people fright
His long golden hair made him look untame
always prowling the landscapes, looking for new game.

Then he saw this rare beauty, glistering in his eye
She danced and laughed so shining, making him afraid to die
Her radiance captivated him, sweeping him off his feet
and when she noticed him staring, she came to give a greet.

They talked for a while in silence and walked away together
she started to feel for him, not knowing it wouldn't matter
for his love grew into hunger and he started sucking her blood
she got startled by his action, but fear him she did not

After it all was over, she laid there in his hands
all cold and deadly pale, as lifeless as the sands
He wiped away the blood and got back on his path
he was smiling while thinking, being immortal ain't that bad.
