D: Vampire Hunter

This is my favorite piece of this semester, an Italian sonnet inspired by Vampire Hunter D! It seems like once a year I write sonnets inspired by fictional characters. Enjoy! :D



D: Vampire Hunter

The starlight illuminates the road,
and I gaze up at the pale moon.
I possess features from diamonds hewn,
from these hands rivers of blood flowed.
In this immortal form, time never slowed.
Against love, I alone prove immune!
I seek my maker behind every dune,
the stars exist merely to mock and goad.

I cut down his image with my sword
clinched in hand. Steeling my resolve to ice.
Form shimmers; warps into the mother I lost.
"D...please forgive me. My fate is abhorred."
Futile words! Illusion! Through her I slice.
I never feel my heart beneath the frost.
