"Blood and Gold"
Many lusted after gold,its luster and its shine
For simple metal,wars were fought and blood was lost
Yet gold can many things unite,when polished down to fine
powder and set free in a cloud,it will be accessible to most
Through such gold,will ties of friendship grow anew
A bond of blood and gold,the tie of few
Which we may share in this coven
Shrouded in Darkness,protected by the night
Gold tinged with blood giving warm,crimson light
When Darkness falls upon the City
The lights flutter down to smoldering coals
Emerge the things which are most pretty
Wolves,cats,nightbirds and foals
Emerges also one of substance and of Soul
A being which in shadows spends its days
Which stands forth proudly and tall
Against the simple herd of sheep and their daily Plays
A creature which sees the action`s new effect
A creature of knowledge and respect
Nightbreed we were called once in ancient times
We are those which seek life`s poetry and rhymes
We are the drinkers of knowlege and of reason
The ones who no matter what the season
Run not from darkness,but embrace
Its strange,forever shifting face
Snow falls on the earth
Dressing it in a fluffy
A coat of diamonds
They sit in shadows at a table
Dark wood and lamps surround as like veils
Much like the settings of dinner in a fable
They dine in the shadows of their tales
Yet one cannot sate
The hunger or the thirst
The wine,though of an old and venered date
Drowns the smell of food at first
The other seem to enjoy the meal,do think
But what if you were to drink
From the other cup,from the other`s hand?
Would it still taste as sand?
Or perhaps the wine would be blood
With taste and texture before not tried?
The meat and fruits all taste of mud
Yet if one would take these things and put them to the other`s lips
If on could touch the other`s fingertips
To their tongue and taste their salt,their scent,their skin
Where to begin?
With such a palate laid before one,Stay with you
Any would,softly bite your neck as if it was a golden peach
Run a tongue across your belly,though few
moments would be needed to reach
The lips,red licorice
Dark and Sweet
Then there wouldn`t be a hunger,But still a thirst
For another
The water in the howling desert
The wind inside a fire
The crying soul on a funeral pyre
In many eras did man wish to fly above the ground
As the birds which circled in the azure sky
Filling the air with their song and Sound
Yet all These dreams,now realized,man saw the lie
Which he had never understood
Though we may fly as birds have done,we are not one with their brood
One bird to me is closer than its kin
The raven,blueish feathers spreading wide
Once a creature of darkness and of sin
It is a masterful companion to have at one`s side
It is in Balance,for it consumes the dead to live
In death it gives so that others thrive
It is the perfect cycle of the world
A being Born of rules and wisdom
Though many foolish stories tell
The Raven means to all well

Beautiful
I appreciate your approval,Nikki.
Lovely very lovely
Ghost Panther
I was once a hunter,red in tooth and blue in claw
I lived to feed and drink my fill
Under the heaven`s mighty maw
But then they came,with spades the earth to till
To make their fields,to build their cities
They killed me and took my hide,my claws,all my pretties
But I arose and ghost I am now,not mere flesh
Yet still my feet may tread upon the forest`s neon mesh
I still can spring upon a deer
I still can run as though a shade
Still I am the hunter with no peer
Hear my roar throughout the glade
A ghost,I am and flesh no more
Yet I am more a hunter,free as never before
A man with Gold may give much of it away
A man with honor can many a respect pay
A man with knowledge can also teach
A man with faith can to many preach
But if a man has only dreams,through which he walks
Through which his mind now nightly runs
Through which his demon,him now stalks
In which a grinning face speaks in riddles and in puns
What may this man do,to avoid disaster?
Should he find himself a teacher,a master?
Perhaps he Needs but notice that a god
is watching over him and pray
Yet this man will never say his prayers by day
He will mutter,``Sie sind am Leben,Ich bin tod``
He walks as though in dreams he finds
His life forever lived behind closed blinds
Upon a gilded,whispering stream
A creature pads on cloven feet,water to sip
As an Image in a smoky dream
This creature sips the liquid silver,a drop hangs on its lip
The ears pointed and sharp,lay flat
The legs tense and ready to spring
This creature lays on Gaea`s mat
This beatiful child,around it flowers ring
Its heart now beats,a heady Sound
Its blood now heats and steams
A wolf,a tiger or a hound
Of these only one dreams
Just as a Dreamer is lost
The Roe never Abandons her post
