Poem by Joe, yo.
Okay, so today at school, Joe gave me this poem to read. I don't really know what to make of it, but I love it!
Ancient Hunger
An ancient one on an eternal hunt
Searching
Always searching
Looking for a mortal to make his own
One with that inner fire
That rare inner light
Few earthbound have it
Those who don't, covet it
Never once has there been seen a mortal with it
The ancient one hunted
Far and wide
For an endless parade of moons and suns
The hunger inside drives him
A different hunger
An echo from his mortal life
The shadow of lust
For an earthbound to crave companionship is one thing
For an immortal hunter to seek refuge is another
He has gone on for time immemorial
But the ancient one was the first with this hunger
Not just for blood
But for sweat
For warmth
For release
Not only to give to silence of death
But the sinful pleasures of life as well
As his fangs broke the soft pale skin
Of her untainted flesh
She cried out
Not in pain
But in ecstasy
Silently slicing his wrist
Then offering the solace of the endless darkness
To the one who craved him
His darkness
His unlife
The blood fills both up
The shadow of lust
Has become a corporeal thing
An animal, finally freed inside both
He has her
She has him
The Earth is set ablaze
By their eternal inner fire
The two walk now
Untouched by time
Untouched my mortals and immortals alike
Just the two
Bound by kinship
Bound by lust
Dead
But living in Sin
