Introduction:- Ivy Rose

I Soar the night
so dark it shimmers,
and spear through time
in the cold of the winter

Morphing through wind
I play in the dust,
prey on the weak
and draw them with lust

I speak to the dead
and call forth a spell,
a force of power
man cannot quell

Stray in the light
and close to a cross,
or praying some night
I WILL find you lost

Have garlic on hand
and wreath your neck,
or hungered some night
I might bite you yet

Ivy rose is my name
and I'm thirsting for blood,
my desire in your veins
will soon mouth to floods

Beguiled to lust
I will bequeath,
that your juice will flow
as my fangs unsheathe

I stalk the streets
in a purple cape,
and walk in a darkness
no creature can escape

Drawn to mirrors
I am cursed in glass,
but I look through the ages
and no image does pass

Walking to death
I look to the light,
dreaming someday
to resurrect in life

Ivy Rose

***** (this is one way I can give you what you deserve without it effecting spotlight, which still pisses me off because you belong in the spotlight.) I love the name you have chosen for this wonderful rhyming Vampire Lady, Ivy Rose is perfect. She is the perfect combination of seductress and killer! You, my dear friend, are a natural born story teller. I can just see and hear you while sitting around a campfire, telling this story to the people gathered 'round. I can't pick favorite lines because they all are tantalizing. Love, Cat

Dear Cat

Your words are my stars huni ;) you make my day just being here and reading these writes , for without you ? they wouldnt exsist I write a lot of them with you in mind thinking how can I entertain you? LOL and dazzle you with the moon and the dark I know you so love it and I love writing stories and making them up, funny thing I never knew I could lol ... always writing about how I felt instead of writing my imagination which is two different things but then combining the two and making poetry thats the art I havent got there yet but i scribble and scratch hoping one day to write a masterpiece I can sit back and say up yours I wrote that lmfao :P you know me cheeky to the end ;) love and higgest bugs Jayne x x x x

Yes a great story

I like the theme for it is right up my alley ...reading back though the third and fourth verses have a syllable too long, just a suggestion if you left out the word 'still' in 'man cannot still quell' and the fourth if you changed it to 'i might find you lost' it keeps the flow a bit where its broken up in my mind anyway keep up the great work and will respect your wishes though cat is right you deserve the spotlight no matter what 'other' people have said ,[by the way ,which i think is childish and petty and screw who doesnt like my opinion they can bann me if they want this site is not what it used to be anyway and it makes me sad]but on a happy note i love your work and will keep reading always Love and hugs Lacy, Where power corrupts,poetry cleanses.

I love Ivy Rose! She is just

I love Ivy Rose! She is just the kind of woman that 'Killer' would like too! I guess that she will find favor here with those of us in the dark. I am very much in the dark as of late. Not exactly sure what is going on here but defintely feeling some unease. I guess nothing ever stays the same, and here is no exception. Oh well, I have to go write some more killing stuff. Keep on keeping on, Gee

Dear Seren

For a few seconds I thought I was in a movie theater watching your words take a life of its own. They leaped from the page, scary as fangs, but thank goodness it was my friend's poem. As always, the wording is superb! Excellent, a work of dark arts. Best Regards, Hugo

Dear Julie

When I was younger I was fascinated with Vampires I remember reading all the Anne Rice books etc lol and my daughter is twilight crazy ... so not only do I have other vampire poems here, I live with Vampires at home to the point,of ridiculous lol ... So it was just natural to write some myself get it out of my system but i think I may have created a monster lmao Ivy Rose is her name ... Thanks again for the read hun always nice seeing you here (hug) love and higgest bugs Jayne x x x
