"Nightly Rising"

In satin pools of blood, reflection drowned.
She saw her face within the shining eye
of he who stank of cemetery ground,
who drained her to her death but not to die.

The looking glass is blank when she slides by,
never again her image to be found.
To darkness and to endless desire bound,
she creeps beneath the haunt of the cold sky.

Mirroring a mirror, unknowingly,
The pale glide of that celetial body,

Nightly rising with sickle dripping white,
the pulse of day changed to a pallid flow
of stolen life for a dead satellite,
that immortal older than she below.

This is fabulous. I read it last night and then again just now. I love it. I may ask you to use it some day in the opening of one of my vampire books.

I wrote it for a contest submission (that it didn't win) so I spent a looong time on it. If you would want to use it, you would be welcome to.

Dollface, if I sell any of my vampire books to New York, I'll be talking to you about it.
