The last train comes and goes <br />While hidden in the darkness <br />Down a midnight leafy country lane <br />On a melancholy moonless night <br />Waits the vampire hungry for prey. <br /> <br />Pools of pale light <br />Small islands within the dreaded dark <br />Glow from gothic street lamps <br />But there is no protection <br />Without a crucifix and garlic. <br /> <br />Footsteps echo down the lane <br />As the solitary passenger from the train <br />Heart quickened with a knowing dread <br />Walks with rapid nervous steps <br />Fearing what is lurking within the darkness.<br /><br />Colin Ian Jeffery<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/vampire-22/
