Kim V. Poetry

Moonlight flits through the window,
And I’m awoken from
A dream of vampiric splendor.

A dream of you and I.

A dream of faraway lands
And nesting days.

In reality,
I tell myself
Little white lies
In my prayers.

That when this illusion
Comes to an end,
You’ll be waiting for me.

Encrusted in flames,
Holding out your hand.

So here I am,
Standing in dawn’s light,
Not thinking that you’d be there.

But then,
I hear your raspy whisper
Draped in desire,
With my name on your lips.
