Analysis of Blood Kiss
Carla Wilson 1979 (Troy, ny)
Sleeping alome a bed of earth
Dreaming of a time, I was filled with merth
Five hundred years I lived but did not
Five hundred years I've been dead without rot
I feast on blood as if it were wine
All human kind is ment to be mine
I know nothing of evil or good in this life
The night alone is my beloved wife
You ask of me what I can not do
Not understanding how could you?
You ask of me one final wish
But I will not give you this blood kiss.
