A single candle lit
With silent words, she sits
before the open windowsill,
wanting racing heart, be still.
The night sky black as pitch
Her breath comes with a hitch
Will love come to the Witching Hour,
Dare she give him that much power?
Her lips still burn from remembered kiss
The passion evokes such sensual bliss
Her mind recounts each tender touch
Desire builds ever much.
Quiet steps across the threshold,
Sultry eyes possessive bold
His face blocks out her memory
of whispered warnings told.
To her he bends his knee
to make a formal bow.
There is no hesitation,
he beckons, the time is now.
Tonight, he chose eternity
For her to be his mate
A single bite upon his neck
Will seal him to an immortal fate.
A vampire’s love is timeless
She whispers in his ear
I shall love you forever,
she vows through scarlet tears.
