PERCHANCE TO DREAM

I come to you tonight because it is where I must be
What's left of my immortal soul still longs to be set free
You are not like the other ones, on them I only feed
You are a precious, perfect gem, you are the one I need
Inside my heart there was a place that I had thought long dead
But through your soft and gentle touch, it now burns bright instead

I curse each hour that the soft sleep keeps me from your side
For though I die again each day, that does not stem the tide
The passion that you stir in me runs through me like an ocean
There are these things that I must do, but you have my devotion
The joy when we're together, the anguish when we part
Remind me that my soul's not dead and I still have a heart

I see you waiting on your bed as I enter your room
My need for you grows stronger with each breath of your perfume
You see me and a lovely smile forms on your angel face
Your arms extend invitingly, awaiting my embrace
Soft red lips whisper the name that so few people know
The sound is like a symphony that makes my passion grow

I kiss you forehead,nip your neck and taste your ruby lips
Fingers draw a map of pleasure, shoulders to your hips
Your satin gown is slipped away and tossed upon the floor
There's nothing in the world but us as we are one once more
I bite down hard and taste your essence, you pull my long hair
No other acts of gods or men are like this thing we share

So bitter is the fact that I can't stay here past the dawn
But we both know that with the sun, I always must be gone
Damn this thing that brought me both a blessing and a curse
But someday you will be with me, for better, not for worse
Until that time each rising sun will make me want to scream
Instead, I'll wait for night to fall..to sleep, perchance to dream.

THE KISS

The night winds draw your scent to me, I hear then call your name
You wait for me this night, my love and feel no guilt or shame
Damn those who say that this is wrong, disparage our sweet dance
For they would gladly do the same if given half a chance
They fear the icy stare of death..the reaper's final sting
And if they could, they'd gladly take the special kiss I bring

But that kiss is reserved for you..you are my chosen one
The moment my lips touched your skin, the changes had begun
I wandered endless centuries, felt doomed to be alone
The thought of one more night like that chills me to the bone
So take the ribbons from your hair and let it tumble free
Drop your gown unto the floor and give yourself to me

My lips touch yours so tenderly, my hands cradle your face
You tremble as I hold you in my dark and sweet embrace
There is no turning back this night from such intoxication
Your body tenses under mine in rapt anticipation
Our fingers lock, I hold you down, my tongue begins to tease
You look at me and with your eyes, you beg for sweet release

Sharp teeth sink into tender flesh, the blood begins to flow
With every drop I taste of you, my passion more does grow
I open up a vein for you, it is your turn to drink
You taste my essence willingly, there is no need to think
My dark blood stains your ruby lips, your crimson blood stains mine
We press our lips together now and let them both combine

You close your eyes and drift away..you know the end is near
Yet in your eyes is only love..no trace of doubt or fear
When you awake, we will be one in every single way
We'll walk the nights together and shun the light of day
Forever won't be just a word, but how we truly live
That is the thing I bring to you..it is the gift I give

Eternity is ours, my love and time does not exist
The sands no longer run for us, we live in a sweet mist
We've conquered death and claimed the night, it now is our domain
Free from sickness, age, disease and all of life's cruel pain
I promised you forever and that promise I did keep
Now we are one eternally..we share in the soft sleep
