Ekphrastic Poem

By: Maven Lebron

Vampire (1893) by Edvard Munch

 



The warm embrace is comforting

Yet I feel uneasy.

She holds me faintly

Yet I feel constricted.

This feeling of love 

Is altered by the feeling of pain.

In the dark abyss which surrounds me

I feel so lonely.

 Yet I am trapped with a vampire.

The vampire's laceration in my neck

Leaves me blemished.

I must escape this now cold embrace

Yet I am bound to her chest

As if she is the only thing I ever loved.

 I don’t want to escape.

I can’t lose her.

The void is now still

Just as the vampire and

Just as my last breath.

I now feel fulfilled.

The number two is amazing and is related to so many things, such as how humans have two hemispheres of their brain , or even the duality of yin and yang bringing harmony and balance to our world .
