The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Snow gleams golden, beneath the light of autumn’s kiss;

Winds blowing wings that way and this.

Rains are falling in merry storm,

Beneath the skies, where blood runs warm.

A cave stands black against the white,

An entrance through the heart, beating, burning bright.

Dreams ride, formless and free

Upon drifts of laughter reigning from mystery

As moths become one with the flame

Like stars mingling in a celestial game.

Petals join the graces of snow

Within the darkness, free to flow

This burning cold

And blood so old,

Ancient before the moon and sun

When chaos and peace existed as one.

With the children of wilderness dancing their rings;

Unicorns dreaming, and the scaled one sings–

Winter boughs weaving these tales,

While the snow hag beckons upon the gales.

Under my redundant sky, I

Sometimes see an antidote

To my quiet tears and arduous fears.

Often, in my jigsaw mind,

Poisons war with remedies

Leaving me sick at heart

And as vacant as a dark owl

Lost to night and myopic of life.

But In the acute serenity of your arms

Down dark to my tumulus of desire

I prepare myself for burial or cure.

Ode to a Tombstone as the Moon’s Silver Light Casts Down Upon Me While I Am Beseiged By Ravenous Flesh-Hungry Ghouls. Or An Ode To George Romero...





I walked home one eve: It was a cold Night,

That Movie I saw had filled me with fright.

The Dead rose from the grave, no one knows how,

But all that mattered was they were there now!

Eight humans were trapped inside a small shack,

While outside the zombies were ready to snack.

The dead has rose with an inhuman taste,

For warm human brains, the rest they would waste.

The dead finally won; They smashed through the walls.

The humans were dinner; I was appalled.

The clock tower struck one; it gave me a start!

Back to reality; I clutched at my heart.

The small shock gave way to one that was worse,

My Brit Lit Paper! “I forgot!” I cursed.

“It’s due in the morning! God, I’m so dumb!”

Should’ve been working; instead I had fun.

Tomorrow she’ll ask me, “Where is your work?”

I won’t have anything! I’ll look like a jerk!

Then as I pondered, I thought of a plan!

If I could bullshit it, I’d be the man!

But How to get home? I’m so far away!

I’ll take a short cut through the cemetary!

It’s cold. It’s dark. And there’s no one around...

What if the dead start to rise from the ground?

I think my mind is playing tricks with me.

I should not have seen that zombie movie

I think that something is following me...

I turn ’round and look... but there is nothing.

I laugh at my fear, t’was just in my head.

Nothing can hurt me! All that’s here is dead.

I continue my walk, all remains still.

The campus of Morris lies O’er that hill.

Then comes a sound that makes me wet my Hanes!

An inhuman voice moaning the word, “Brains.”

I turn with fright and see my worst fear!

The dead have risen! The Zombies are here!

I’m frozen in place! My will starts to drain.

Te zombies move closer, droning out, “Brains.”

I turn and run. The blood runs through my veins,

As the zombies chase me, hungry for brains.

The clouds above darken. It starts to rain.

The Zombies pursue! They can’t have my brains!

There is no light now. My vision, it strains.

I can’t see the zombies who want my brains.

My chest is pounding. My side’s wracked with pain.

I stop for a rest, but then I hear, “Brains.”

“If only I had done homework!” I feign.

“I’d be safe at home, not chased for my brains!”

I turn back and look; They’ve started to gain!

The dead sure are fast, when they want your brain!

Next time I rent films: NO ZOMBIES! NO BRAINS!

Maybe a romance; perhaps with Claire Danes.

Instead of movies, think more towards “Survive.”

I can’t watch movies, unless I’m ALIVE!

I crumple to the ground. My Strength: it wains!

The zombies surround me, sniffing my brains!

As they reach for me, a thought fills my head,

“No need for homework, I’m already dead!”

One of them bites me; the grass my blood stains.

Hope I can’t feel it, when they eat my brains.

They set upon me. it ceases to rain.

The dead are sated. They’ve eaten my brain.

The night ends, the dead return to the ground.

My last thought, “I hope my body is found.”

The Sun is shining. Kids go out and play.

I’m not in Brit. Lit, what will they say?

Yet somehow my friend, you’ve gotten this poem.

I’m now a zombie. The earth I must roam.

And if you, Professor, deem my poem bad,

Realize I have not the brain I once had.

What keeps you where you are

Away from life as i live it here

Not facing the unknown,nor questioning

The unknown,all that stops you is fear



I am not talking living alone in the woods

Any adventure,that you only live in your mind

There's a world out there,a world lost

That fear hasn't allowed you to find



It may be as simple as the new outfit you didn't buy

So different from any style you have ever wore

Once again you stick with the tied and true

When even to you,this has become a bore



So many places to go,so much to see and do

You dream about them all,but you stay right here

Is your life all you could wish

Or are you held back from life by fear



Fear keeps you from giving life a try

And from being all that you can be

Fear holds you in it's grip,won't let you grow

Release it's hold,there's a life there for you to see

I love the way you make me feel

Not about you but about me

The way you share your thoughts

For they're not open to see

Yes,and give me a right to to my own

thoughts and mind

I like knowing I can walk away

And take my own time and space

And not turn to hurt,disappointment

or rejection on your face

For the more I am to me

The more I can become to you

I have my own road to walk

And my own things to do

Darlin what we share is priceless

honest and it is free

Where I don't have to prove myself

Nor you to me

I want you for you,not what

I wish you could be

For who you are,what you are

Brings out the love in me

Is that you that I hear?

Your footsteps on the ground above my head.

Your hands apon the headstone that bears my name.

You are a dweller in the night! Beware I bite!

On cloak as black as sin, I float, I fly.

In hunger burning bright, seaking prey.

Life is flowing deep within.

I send it bubbling fourth.

and then I drink it in again.

Another night, never day.

Away away, into the dark I flee!

where I might hide.

waiting for another night.

Did you hear?

Did you see?

Do you flee?

Or is that your hand I find near mine?

In the dark! Dwellers in the night!

Beware we bite!
