Kim V. Poetry

Monsters like us
Come alive
In the dead of night.

Traveling,
Always looking for the way
Back home.

But what is home?

What is home,
To a ghoul who craves
The love they used to have?

An entity,
That walks the lonely road,
With nothing or no one
To soothe the wicked stripes
Of love.

I know the answer.

It’s you.

For we monsters
Are so much alike.

Forsaken, but not empty.
Searching but not lost.

So, my dearest shadow,
Press your name
To what was once my heart.

Do it with wax and blood,
And keep me spellbound.

Leave your memory quivering
On what’s left of my soul.

For your love,
Leaves me haunted but holy,
Ghostly in the way I crave you.
