In the dark night
They listened
For the cry of the wolf
But more
The cracks of twigs
The rustle of leaves
The turn of a door nob
Against the lock
A break of glass
Then the scrape
Of a ladder
Against the house
He hid in the closet
In the space
Behind the walls
Only to be found
Eighty years later
A leather mummy of
A boy
Who wasn’t available
To answer the door
When his sister
Had lost
Her key
One cold
Winter
Night.

You wait at my door,
Your bite still fresh,
Your cries
Your pleading
Your banging
The scratching
Your love
Astounds me
You will not give up
Fangs set
Love forever
I must let you in
For after all
Despite all
Forever all
I laugh
I smile
I let you in
You are my cat.
~ Juliette aka Vampire Maman
I was a spirit
In white silk with pink roses
Bustle in back
You in black tails
Took my breath away
And a century later
When you realized
That I loved you
I could exhale.
~ Juliette aka Vampire Maman
You wait at my door,
Your bite still fresh,
Your cries
Your pleading
Your banging
The scratching
Your love
Astounds me
You will not give up
Fangs set
Love forever
I must let you in
For after all
Despite all
Forever all
I laugh
I smile
I let you in
You are my cat.
~ Juliette aka Vampire Maman
I seek you out
I attack
Then sing the song of my people
Loud
With gusto
And wake the dead
And the living
To cry out
The fact
That I have found
A rubber band.
I am
The Cat.
The end.
The night of all souls
When the gates
To the other side
Open
For a party
Of fantasy and fun
Ghosts and witches
Magic and fun
The real horrors
Wait…
In the dark…
For another time…
To eat your soul
In unexpected surprise.
Be ready.
~ Juliette aka Vampire Maman
