JEALOUSY (Part 9 of Black Roses series)
The four of us were on the town;
Our first night as a team you see.
We left as setting sun went down,
Our new companions, Jean and me.
`Tis said that fairest one of all,
With hair of red and eyes sea green,
And voice like mermaid's siren call
`Tis I, the Vampire, Seraphine!
If true, then why do I feel threat?
From Desiree, that vapid slut!
She simpers, plays the sweet coquette;
With Jean Pierre, I know she'd rut!
Will my one love stay true to me?
The answer, only time can tell.
I'll hold my head up, regally,
For I am still the Queen of Hell!
No mortal man would dare to shun,
The measure of my countenance!
Yet Jean Pierre is still the one;
I must tell truth, leave all pretense.
Perhaps there'll be a way, and soon,
To bring that menace to her knees!
Time now for rest, with waning moon;
I'll plot her end within my dreams.
And when the time is right, I'll strike!
How I shall end this, no one knows.
But if I play my cards just right,
She'll disappear with one black rose...
