a worm bite it is as I take rounds around the walking path
of the garden where the mutts shout, reclaim their territory,
I get the notion to return back and open the empty pages
so to absorb their whiteness through my trembling fingers
as they begin to trot on their own accord, a voice found
some words to relinquish my thirst, my loquacious desires
.
“You look very much like a vampire,” a class mate says to me,
I make the gesture of biting my own wrist so that the blood
shall run free, and sniff the air of imaginative dreams
“Hello, unique,” a mate calls me out from the crowd
and I embrace his title for me, the uniqueness imbued in us all
struggling to sore out in the form of an image
to represent the remains that are left of me
.
how little I know my vanity, how much I know my individuality,
sins I create, sins I commit, I am pardoned by my justice
that stings like the worm bite and I caress it incredulously
.
Thank you so much for your support. I haven’t replied to your kind comments in my previous post but I have embraced your love and the beauty of your kind words.
This poem here is a part of a series of poems: “I am a vampire”. I have already written the second part as well. So, it is final that it would at least have two parts and if it happens to be so, I would like to continue further with it.

It feels like the very same to me as well. So good to hear from you… the college is going alright. New things to learn and new experiences to gain, and a few friends to make, as far as I am concerned about it.
I hope you are doing good and the job is going fine. 🙂

quite powerful last stanza….intense…the biting…the naming of unique and the embracing of that and all that it entails…in an effort to salvage what is left of you…so you are going to keep going with this one?

Yes, I have written the second part, which I like better than this one. Further to that, I am thinking of continuing with the core idea of it. I just hope that it works out alright.

I like the topic of this poem really. I think we are all unique in some way, and it is important for us to embrace it as we cannot deny it. It is part of us, and the name “Unique’ is a good one.
