A Vampire's Trance

A Vampire’s Trance

*****

As I walk through the dark and empty streets under the bright full moon

I hear the deafening shrill of cries

I glance up at the moon as it turns a deep dark maroon

I watch as it turns right before my eyes

*****

Chills creep up my back

I’m thinking this can’t be right

The hair stands up on the back of my neck

Before my eyes is an evil sight

*****

I stare before me

Standing in the dark earie shadows is a vampire

No, this can’t be

The damp fog begins to rise higher

*****

I stumble through the darkness as I blunder

There is nothing to be found, not even a light

A deep trance I begin to fall under

A trance as dark as midnight

*****

This can’t be happening; it’s all lies

I know it will have me soon

Everything begins to fade away like when one dies

Then I fall unconscious into the deep dark lagoon
