In Such A Night As This.. (A Vampire Poem) Poem by Maria Rose

In such a night as this
I drove a stake through
the heart of the Day when
the mist entered my room
dissolved in yellow moonlight..

In such a night as this
I broke my mirror and
threw out of the window
my rosary and necklace
which bore the locket of sunlit day.

In such a night as this
my ears opened to the
unheard sweet tunes of the
Children of the Night..
(Listen to them. What music they make!)

In such a night as this
I pinched my heart and
drank the first
dropp of my love
And found my freedom.
