Sonnet for a Strigoi

I swear to you this is my blood promise

I will never rest until I complete

The absolute and the ultimate feat

The task which we seal'd with a stolen kiss

We once decided on a morbid pact

If all fails to take up my silver stake

And your undead life I must surely take

And hunt you down if you failed to react

But when the time came I found I could not

Do the deed and for a second waited

You smil'd and murmur'd Roza you forgot

You broke the first rule; you hesitated

Although you have manag'd to edhellen1

Firimar2, it will not happen again


1 Edhellen (eh-thel-lain) means "means of escape by using various tricks and deceptions"

2 Firimar (Fear-ee-mahr) means "(slang) forgive me, but I promise…"
