I will never forget the millennium,
Once again I rise to the night
Ages seem as countless yesterdays
The past but a flicker in time
I am lost to my youth
The decades have spiraled beyond memory
My ageless body a mere flask
Holding dear centuries of the wisdoms and horrors of mankind.
I gaze upon humanity to witness such ignorance.
They kill one another in the name of a god
they cannot see,
Boast gleefully bathed in the blood of their enemies in the
name of peace.
But some turn to a world hidden from the sun.
Set within an unwritten history.
They long for salvation,
And the half life of a dark predator.
These humans cling to a fascination -
My kind shall deliver them from their mundane lives
Should they call upon us....
Foolish are the mortals who entrust us to their final breath.
Foolish are these lost souls that reach
blindly into the dark.
This is not a game
To be played by children.
Nor for the muse
Of the insane.
The flower you chose to pick
Shall wither in your hand
Like icicles in a candles flame.
Are you that willing for us to take your life ?
Darkness is not the pathway to the light.....
The light is the darkness chosen by the soul
For unto us all it is a different path to tread
To some ...it is embraced and beautiful, while others brood it as a curse.
Tread with caution my sweet for death lurks beneath that beauty
Should you choose our wrath.
Our gift is as rare as the frailest orchid-
Ment only for those with the soul for the task.
Seek what you will from us-
But keep it hushed , never to leave your lips in boast....
Never to be given to a common fool.....
Lest the pedals fall at your grave.
