RFKTR's Darkdream image by rfktr

In shadows draped the village sleeps Where moonlight weeps and darkness creeps A specter roams a vampire's sigh A haunting presence 'neath the sky. Through mist and fog he takes his flight Silent whispers in the night A hunger deep within his soul For crimson nectar his cursed goal. With eyes aglow like ember's fire He stalks the night his dark desire In moonlit alleys his steps doth tread Through cobblestones where fear is bred. The villagers tremble hushed in dread As whispers speak of those long dead Their minds consumed by tales untold Of a fiend whose hunger ne'er grows old. Yet 'midst the terror fate would weave A tale of love he did conceive For in a maiden's tender grace He found a heart a resting place. Her eyes a gentle guiding light A beacon through his endless night He a creature cursed by fate She the one to change his state. But love a sin in their cruel land A union forbidden by decree's command The village cried their rage aflame A monster's heart they aimed to tame. They hunted him with fervent spite Pitchforks torches in the night Hearts hardened no mercy to beg Bound by fear they chose to dredge. Cornered trapped in love's cruel jest Betrayed by passion's sweet arrest He faced the flames his love in view Her tears a testament anew. As pyres rose and ashes fell His love a tale they'd never tell The vampire's heart in ashes lay A tragic end to night's dismay. The village hushed the flames now gone A tale of love forever drawn A haunting memory etched in stone Of a vampire's love in deathly moan rfcreaturae lora:rfcreaturaev3:1
