The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

A tornado of silence

presses against my flesh

sucking at the dreams

which echo in the dark



Ebony hair lashes out

at the inconsistent wind

drowning hopeful thoughts

and childish illusions



The shadows threaten

amongst the bare-leafed trees

killing all joys, filling my eyes

with a bittersweet dew



And yet, it is always there

that beautiful song in my head

lifting me up, carrying me on

keeping me company in my solitude



Evil mists cavort slowly

along the confines of my heart,

as decadence becons so prettily

and the desire for silence grows



A cacophony of despair

flickers at the edges of my being,

crowing in unmitigated victory

tempting me with velvet wings



Slivers of cracked mirrors

caress my fervid skin

bathing in crimson blood

kissing me in pleasure and pain



Yet the song in my head

resounds in innocent beauty

recalling worlds of sunshine

worlds of snowy laughter



Through the sorrow

through the flame

I reach out

in vain, in vain



For the incandescent melody

of the awe-inspired soul

which echoes forever

amidst the murmurs and the sighs
