DEMON BIRTH
In the blank aggression
That is lost lust
Tiny portions of shelled bones
Fragmented upon the beach
Of all that was once well
Takes a slow dissolve,
Why tear my soul apart
Unless you're devouring my heart
Why partake of bloody sustenance
As you're idling deep
Within the pool of my fears
And I hate you for it,
My skin tastes its very first cold
Morning's heartbeat has a new approach
And I find myself alone
On cemetery's bench
Where death began
Where I fought the demon
Deep inside of me
And now
With the battle lost
I rise to my feet
And step toward the destiny
Of my life
As a vampire,
I tremble
Stop dead in my tracks
Shed my final tear
Then
With a terrible lust
I leap at the thought
Of my very first victim
And the bloody trail
That will soon become
My life's work
I smile,
As I wince
At the approaching
Daylight....

Tony
you manage to put forth an array of emotions in such an abstract way , its becoming increasingly challenging for amateurs like me to leave a good enough comment that this poem truly deserves.
Nonetheless, I will do my best..

"In the blank aggression
That is lost lust
Tiny portions of shelled bones
Fragmented upon the beach" ... Good alliteration in line two, Tony. I also enjoyed the consonance of "b" and "s" sounds in this.
"Why tear my soul apart
Unless you're devouring my heart" ... Good use of incidental rhyming here...
"As a vampire,
I tremble
Stop dead in my tracks" ... "Stop dead in my tracks," says the Vampyre, lol. No pun intended, right, Tony?
Heh-heh-heh...
Excellent piece, Tony, and very dark as well.
You do darkness proud.
