The Vampire's Lament

Intended for my unfinished "Damned for Eternity" novella on vampires, which I haven't yet posted onto the blog.

O wanton night
A vision so sublime and sweet
The delicious aroma of spilled blood
Heady as a drug
Upon my lips
I taste

I do not fear day
Nor the sun's golden rays pouring down
Like a sea of scorching raindrops to cleanse me
It is the light
On my face
I hate

Darkness and shadow
In these I adore: I transgress deftly
Enchanting subtle steps fall on dimlit streets
Alleyways where I watch
visions of sin
I partake

Cursed, lost children
He cannot save you anymore than I
Your names were written in the Book of Death
Doomed for all time
Into the abyss
I enslave

Unclean flesh ripens
Forbidden fruits so eager to be picked
Drinking in your souls until each
Become void, empty, cold
Such a lovely vision
I behold

Empty as I Am
Garbage into a trash can
Swept away into the wastes
Beautiful bodies form a corpse's embrace
Easy to replace
I mold

Eternal night calls
Life without any life falls
Creating by destroying all
Leaving no trace of light
In death's pall

The Journey’s End

  old and new, I’m here waiting for you over the hills and under the sun waiting for you as life has begun waiting for you as long as we’ll be waiting for you as you waited for me again we go together my friend through these woods as deep as our sorrows we’ll travel this way into each day through mountains and glens til tomorrow gilded and golden, sapling in green dusty and dark, light with a spark colors abound throughout our journey filling our hearts at all we’ve seen making us age at every stage we’ve dreamed all of life's majesty in the oceans and ponds and what lies beyond footsteps echoing on the hard ground voices fading out til they have no sound we arrive here where we started before each of us the same yet now we've changed one of us lives and cries and cries the other lies down in this cold ground and closes her eyes dusty and dark, light with a spark we’ll travel this way into each day through mountains and glens til tomorrow

The Fourth Riddle

  The Fourth Riddle I’m a whisper on the wind A thought held deep within Imprinted on your bones I won’t ever let you go I know your name I don’t forget anything By design, I hide The truth from sight Hush, shush Don’t rush They don’t know yet Try to keep me quiet Be silent They might buy it I’m embedded in your mind Entrenched inside How do you sleep each night? Worried they’re nearby This train is a one way trip But did you want a ticket? Oh, you can’t get off Until the end of the line Hush, shush Don’t rush They don’t know yet Try to keep me quiet Be silent They might buy it Hush, shush Don’t rush They don’t know yet Try to keep me quiet Be silent You can still deny it You are a prisoner of mine A prisoner in your mind I won’t ever let you go I control everything I’ll follow you to the grave Shhh Don’t talk

Moonlight Kite

I run with the kite in the field All the stars shining brightly The clear, moon-filled sky's expanse stretches wide String trailing behind me The kite lifts as I tug and pull A sharp jerk, I don't let it go Now, it's soaring high I let out more cord as it sails Above the ground, a sky ship Colorful in day, by night delicate Muted greys swerve and dip Yellow tails flutter from the bow As I slowly release more rope How far can it fly? Morning star on the horizon Near where the sun will be rising Dawn will soon arrive I remove small silver scissors Which glint in the twilight Setting the spool of coil onto the ground I look at the kite Kneeling down on my knees I snip the rope and release "Lord, send my prayers to him please" The kite, now free, rushes away My letter tied up with it sways With all of my hopes Every single word I could say I lay my head down on cool grass To find peace at last
