Premonition
In her fitful sleep a reckless image
replays itself subverting comfort or hazy rest.
She smells him before he's in the room,
stale booze and stifled maturity:
he swaggers, almost keels on the bed.
Restlessness evolves into fear.
He puffs his whiskeyed hatred into her nostrils
and his eyes light Hell fire.
The overcast hands, uncaring, seek her heat
pinpoint and corral around her throat.
Finally. He can break her spirit.
She rakes his eyes, pulls his hair panicking under his weight,
her windpipe buckling beneath his thumbs.
He smiles into her gurgling death.
"Bitch."

UNDEAD
UNDEAD for years I walk the night
I play on your fears I live in your fright
On inky moonbeams I appear at your door
In your erotic dreams you become my whore
From slumber you arise, follow me to my lair
With my hypnotic eye's your neck I lay bare
Blood from your veins is all I desire
To dull the hunger pains is all I require
Your neck I have bitten, from your blood i have fed
You are forever smitten and join my UNDEAD.
UNDEAD for years I walk the night
I play on your fears I live in your fright
On inky moonbeams I appear at your door
In your erotic dreams you become my whore
From slumber you arise, follow me to my lair
With my hypnotic eye's your neck I lay bare
Blood from your veins is all I desire
To dull the hunger pains is all I require
Your neck I have bitten, from your blood i have fed
You are forever smitten and join my UNDEAD.
