Poem Commentary

Part 2 of my 15 Part Vampire series, "Black Roses"....please read all, as it is a complete story, told in poetic form. Thanks and please, enjoy! :)

Black Roses (Part2) "Awareness"

For centuries I've been locked in this gloom,

Feasting at night by the light of pale moon.

Coming to terms with this musty old room;

My refuge, my solace, this damnable tomb!

 

Once I was mortal and walked freely as you.

A woman of substance impeccably groomed.

Dreams of being a bride, face glowing like dew!

Now as Queen of Undead, I'm eternally doomed.

 

Roses of red were always my choice,

When I was alive and still had a voice.

And dining with friends was cause to rejoice;

Now I've feasted on them, few regrets, little noise.

 

Forever I'm damned to wandering alone,

With a pure, aching hunger that cuts to the bone.

Doomed to silence and darkness wherever I roam;

Nevermore to know comfort, companion or home.

 

Gaily by lamplight, right under your noses,

I linger in shadows; you strike mortal poses,

Unaware of how naivety neglects, predisposes,

Your fate to my thirst and this "gift" of.. black.. roses.

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
