Vampire’s kith and kin,

Reaching from a gloomy tomb,

Young offspring of Lilith; spurned wife.

Key figure lost to Hebrew texts, ousted in Rome,

Overtly sexual, tempting victims with immortality, Loving the lover as fangs feed through the night.

Arising at dusk’s beckoning, oozing charm,

Knife-life canines, knocking at windows, Outside waiting for the inevitable, Sensually leading to new life.
