WD 68 “Grief”

A poem inspired by the Muse of Cold Earth.

Grief

Prolong my vampiric edge

My lifespan, wide as a pin, as long as a road whose end is 

Smothered in mist

-Regard the little people as you would

Ghouls and cattle

All with varying purposes and different odors 

Match majesty with majesty 

Look me in the eye and tell me I’m out of control as I drain another bottle and toss

It off into the darkness 

It crashes, splits and fragments on the legs of the city bridge

But I can’t hear it over the slow

Slow

Beating of my noisy heart

-If there was enough blood to quench my hopeless thirst for comfort we 

Would already be drowning in an ocean  of it 

Like

The half demon monsters 

Who haunted the first patriarchs and saints
