His eyes

As daylight wanes and night takes over
Cold clear star nights are yet to come
And mist clouds sit just above streetlights
Young girls become women and see his eyes
In their dreams
And feel the damp pull of some harvest moon
Time and tide slow to a crawl
And the night raven calls one last time before
Venus rises in the East
Almost motionless he waits for her
Piercing black eyes scan the nearly deserted night scene
No cloak, no dagger
Just the thirst
A few pass by his perch on the corner
He watches them go, they're not right for him
Too old or too young, too purposeful or too lost
But he's not goldilocks in whiteface
People pass by on the other side of the road
They feel some malevolence and walk out of their way
He smells her approach
Tastes the texture of her skin on his tongue
She feels his pull like the moon on the tide
Like the serpent in Eden
His words of greeting are common but the sound is not
She bends to his will and her blood calls out for him
They walk on for a bit, then
Into his dark car
She proffers her neck
He tastes her sweet juices
She swoons in his arms
He sucks out her essence
And feels her life now his strength...

OK honey, I know your period is a pain, but
I'll get you some more midal
No, I'm not trying to suck the life out of you, I'll put the kids to
Bed and yes, I won't read them any scary stories
Why don't you just lie down, no, I'm not trying to tell you
What to do, no, I don't wish to control your every move
I'm sorry you're bleeding to death, it'll be ok, yes, I know that you've
Had PMS for two weeks, no, I'm not making light of it, no
I'm not a vampire
