Description Tis the dead of night
The stars have fled
Watch for the man
The one undead

Cold and smooth is his ghastly skin
His feathery hair where the moons light begins
Sleek, perfected, most cursed of all men
With beauty a fantasy might hold within

Silvery laughter fills the air
Guard your heart from his silver snare
The winds all howl to their masters' song
The epitome, the height of all that Is wrong

Dammed forever without a soul
His swirling eyes are black as coal
A glorious monster with power untold
Cut from hells unearthly mold

Seething, sulking embers burn
For life eternal does he yearn
His heart Is useless robbed and worn
A spirit to early cut and shorn

Blood It's crimson bitter taste
A soul of purity laid to waste
A wailing scream cut short In death
A garbled moan and a shuddering breath

A finely arced neck and a broadened chest
Evils sweet courier it?s host, it?s nest
A fleeting smile tainted by hate
Flee if you can the hour is late

Flash of white, his fangs bearing down
A circlet of dim light his crown
The enticing, frozen, deathly embrace
Blood beats the faster, your heart starts to race

Anguish, suffering, turmoil and zeal
Broke him from his holy seal
One put in place by the powers that be
To ward away death so we may live free

But it was not by his power alone, that he broke from his eternal home
Hearts who long for power and wealth, for hurt and pain and earthly filth
They are cause for what roams the night, putting all that?s good to flight
They who wallow in their crime, growing more wicked with passing time

These are the souls who damn us all, who let out the condemning call
The call that woke our darkest fears, a time of darkness ever nears
What can be done to right the wrong, to send suffering away with a joyful song
The holy seal must be remade, the blood that was shed must be repaid

But only a bond so strong and true, that it will endure beyond me and you
Can forge the wall between purity and dark, and bind death with lights? pure mark
Only when hearts are open and kind, can our world of black night be truly refined
But this can only come to pass, when all evil is gone it is hopeless alas!

So in the darkest shade of night
Where wanderers are filled with fright
Where shattered souls are our true essence
And the past repeats its unlearned lessons

Is where this beautiful creature lives
Its hunger is violent, no will to forgive
This broken, ruined, form of life
plaguing us all with death and strife

Forever will he be our fate
Until we learn to watch and wait
To hold fast to what?s good and pure
Only then can we be sure

In the dead of night
When the stars have fled
We can watch for the man
The one reborn

Imposing structure, I say. You really have a special gift for rythmical shape of poetry. I always appreciated that with fixed versification, because I write in such technique for most of my omnibus. And its epical powers also turn out to be connected and form a truly "noir", not exactly horror story. It really keeps you reading all the way down to the bottom line. The flow is, regardless of the content, amazing. The content itself - I would not dare to explain it odds and ends style, but it surely made my blood start to run faster...maybe it's just because of my mentally fragile nature .

Just as good as the rest, though the rhyme in tis one was a bit quirky.

And you're right, it does SEEM like a horror kind of poem, but there seems to be a little more. I'm gonna have to dig a little deeper maybe ._.;
