The Search ( Nosferatu's Lament )

poem by: Graham Jenkinson
Written on Feb 12, 2017

I need nobody, I need nothing
l have been dead so very long 
There is nothing left but the search 
The centuries of looking keep me strong

I have been looking for you forever
For centuries I have searched for you
Nothing else, nothing else matters 
I need to see this journey through

Show me where it you are hiding and who from
At least when you open your eyes you see the sun
Yet for centuries in darkness I have stumbled
Searching out my only love since time began 

Struggling through the eon's looking for you
The four corners of the earth have been scoured
Looking for the only one I loved ever in my life
Disappointment all around everything seems so soured 

So many years centuries it seems
I vowed to be reunited with your love
Our love was pure love we were one being
I have cursed god and cursed heaven above

Every continent has felt my burning hatred
Many bodies drained of blood in my search for you
You were the only true love who moved me so 
Looking for you was the honorable thing to do 

Earthbound after denying to enter heavens gate
To be hidden from the sun was then my fate
I will find you one day it can never be too late
But for you my beloved Mina I shall wait

Deep in my heart there is a great burning 
A savage fire that will never be put out
I vow to carry on until I find you 
Mina you my love listen for me shout
