Children of the night

 

People can come at me

with their sticks and torches

but hey, I have a castle

with a drawbridge!

It's nice, 

if a little draughty

I sleep all day,

at night I seek food.

A teenager you say?

Nay, I have lived more years

than my human appearance betrays.

 

I have friends that buck most trends

Bryan down the way is a man by day

but by night into the sky he sends

howls baying for blood

into the pale moonlight

the souns flood.

He likes to grow his hair,

only once a month though

But my, on that night 

it truly does flow.

 

Then there is Joan,

the grey lady that walks my home.

She doesn't say a lot, 

just a wispy moan

Chills all of my visitors to the bone.

She sweeps through the rooms, 

through the walls too.

Nothings an obstacle

when you are a ghoul.

 

But back to me, 

it’s almost time for tea.

I like mine body temperature.

Straight from the neck,

warm, soothing and red

Oozing, pooling down my throat,

I bleed them all

until they are dead.
