I took a trip down memory lane and found my old poetry account that I used to write on.
I think I will revive them and start sharing them more on platforms such as Substack, Medium and perhaps my own personal blog. I wrote the trilogy of poems back in 2007 when I was fresh out of high school. I sure dated myself LOL. I haven’t written like this for a very long time, thanks to life and depression.
However, re-reading these doesn’t make me cringe; in fact, it inspires me again. It also brings back good memories and I would like to say that goth wasn’t a phase!
I wrote this series from the perspective of a male vampire and also drew inspiration from the Underworld movies. Hopefully, you’ll enjoy my mini-series!
Pacing around in my study
Frustrated, unsatisfied…
Why??
The leader of a coven
Immortal, seductive, powerful, invisible
Everything a mortal could ever dream of
Yet something was missing
For 500 years has pass me by
And I have always felt empty
For power meant nothing without love..
Many women had crossed my path
But none to my taste
Easy creatures…
Good for nothing
Except for their warm blood
No work needs to be done to feed on them
Worthless…
500 years and still no one…
Then one night
I met her…
Racing through rooftops…following…
Watching…Mesmerized
She was like no other
Strong, beautiful, intelligent…
Boring into her mind
She was like me…
My soulmate…yet; a vampire hunter…
Can love be my downfall?
Shall I wait for the next life?
But no…I am a powerful vampire
Nothing stands in my way
No man or woman can take me down
I am invisible
I will never give in..
So I run to her…and meet my destiny…
Stay tuned for Part II next Friday!
Yes, my favorite site is Manuscriptwishlist.com , easy to use, run by 3 or 4 very helpful women, been up for years. It’s free to look up agents and see what they are looking for. Lots of them want gothic stories . Good luck!
Great opening! And beautifully written imho!
