The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

(One of my older Poems)





Dark caresses the land with a velvet cloak

Smoke from their torches brings a choke

To my dry throat, as I watch them file

Into a line, along the waters of the Nile.





They stand there chanting, to the stars above

Invisible am I, in my nocturnal glove

Praising their Gods to see them through

Mortal tribe, I gaze upon you.





Silvery moon, it licks the mighty river

Quivering lights, they make me shiver

My body so cold, and my senses high

Their passion, it stirs me, makes me sigh.





For they are one, together they belong

As for me, I sing a solitary song

They live, they die, and then they are gone

But fate decrees, I carry on..





Hear their chants, oh, hear them sing

Morning follows night, and hope it brings

Safe within their simple minds

The cosy creed, of all mankind..





Ritual complete, slowly they now depart

Back to their families, within the heart

Of what they call home, as I linger here

I wipe from my eyes a single, salt tear.





Oh blessed humans! How can you know

Your foibles and worries embrace you so

With lives of love, 'til death does greet

Your final destiny, of which you'll meet.





Ah, silence now lingers all around

The lap of the water, the only sound

Until a single scream the silence breaks

As the truth within me now awakes.





The moon she watches from the sky

As all that was human in me dies

I pick myself up from the sand

As Destiny leads me by the hand..





Tall and proud now, I stand upright

No more reason now to fight

Acceptance dawns, all fear I lack

For once I was gone, but now I am back...

(One of my older poems)



The grip of change, hard, unyielding

Tears deep within, pulling, ripping me

Away from my deep, safe, familiar being

Dragging me, kicking, to another way to be.





A biological timebomb, stronger does it grow

Feeding upon my turmoil, lapping up my insecurity

The changes I feel, turning weakness into strength

The thirst, still young, wanting, needing to know.





Battle commences within my now perplexed thoughts

The reality that nurtured me, quickly becoming a stranger

Serpentile the desire to shed my old 'skin'

To fly freely, whole, on my newly opened wings.





And yet the battle within continues to rage

Inner tears, inner screams, becoming deep growls

Emotional rollercoaster, my change a hard master

And the sweet little puppy dog, grows into the wolf.
