A Vampyre’s Enquiries
The endless hunger begins to consume
Longing for the taste of sweet flesh
But the question is from whom
Who will satisfy my immortal hunger?
The eternal thirst overwhelms
Yearning for a sip of the finest crimson delight
But the question is where I will find it amid these realms
Who will quench my everlasting thirst?
Countless will be bitten
Flesh will be torn and blood will be shed
But all will be forgotten
These habits, will I ever cease?
Will I ever reach satisfaction?
Will my teeth ever sink into the right victim?...

A Priceless Treasure
Cheerful blues evanesce into effervescent violets
Various shades of bashful pink and glittering amethyst illuminate the atmosphere
Together they fuse to produce a sky so picturesque
A type of pure, genuine, effortless beauty that I have fallen deeply for and hold dear
The light of day slowly dwindles into the dark of the night
The resplendent, silver, virtually full moon shines radiantly upon the earth this fine evening
An enchanting, captivating sight that very few notice
A view that will hypnotize the mortal soul and leave an eternal stain...

The Demon Within (The Creature)
It hides within the darkest shadows of the night
Creeping ever so slowly out of sight
Watching as the rest of the world travels along
Singing to an entirely different song
Seldom has it ever been seen
For a glimpse of this creature, your observances must be keen
Rarely, it gifts you with its presence
Traditionally, the method of choice is absolute voidance
What little that can be seen is pale, white, and sparkling skin
A contrast to the darkness it is shrouded in
Dark iridescent sapphire eyes glow amid the blackest shadow
Thick blackened...

Forever Is Only the Beginning (Intertwining Spirits)
Softly, the night whispers
Faintly murmuring its secrets
A nightly rain sending the most gentle of showers
Slightly dampening the earth, but not our intertwining spirits
Dazzling stars shine above us in the atmosphere
The glittering moon illuminating the night
All around, fireflies commence to appear
This sweet serenity, we fear, will only last until daylight
We walk, hand in hand, into the shadows of the night
Seeking tranquility together
Our merging souls, as one, ignite
Now that they are intertwined, our...

Beauty in the Darkness
font=Georgia][/font]
The day evanesces into a gleaming twilight.
Heavenly blue skies transform to various shades of blushing pink and vibrant purple.
Soon will be the arrival of gleaming immaculate moonlight...
At this time I feel the most tranquil.
Daylight finally dwindles into an ethereal darkness.
The moonlight casts shadows down upon the earth beneath my feet.
The radiant glow from the moon can only be described as simply beautiful and wondrous.
I am here, in a place so serene, accompanied by solitude so sweet.

A Blossomed Flower
A solitary crimson flower grows among the weeds in a secluded meadow.
Its vivid, intense color standing out amid the surrounding grassland…
Such exceptional beauty lies in the most remarkable places, though.
This blossoming flower, I can assure you, is not bland.
Its uniqueness cannot be compared to another,
For it is rare in this world of consistency.
It may deceive you by looking as gentle and soft as a whisper,
But deep within itself, it is solid, strong and far from dainty.
Although to the common eye, it may seem to be...

A Moonlit Forest
Glittering, resplendent purple skies light up the evening forest.
Streaks of moonlight shine down through the trees,
Lighting some areas, but leaving others at its darkest.
The wind sending a chill filled nightly breeze.
This place feels familiar to you.
You know you have never been here before,
Yet you feel acquainted to this earth coated in a fine layer of evening dew.
The only way to describe this place is to describe what is usually only in folklore
A quiet stream makes its way through the forest; clear enough to see your reflection.
Both...

The Deterioration of the Imagination
Imagination is gradually deteriorating
Vision is diminishing.
Inspiration is dwindling.
Motivation is slowly disappearing.
Technology is now the “lovely” substitute.
Paper and pen are now scarce and minute.
Society has found a replacement.
Imagination is absent.
Computers have taken the place of parchment.
Writing with pen on paper is now an act considered ancient.
Why is the human imagination fading?
Why are we so dependent on technological things and not on what is evanescing?
Will it come to the point of deterioration…...

The Storm
A storm is approaching.
You are watching as it begins to arise…
You watch out the window as the sun fades and disappears behind the darkest clouds.
The thunder cracks, a noise so loud.
You visualize the upcoming downpour just before it begins to fall.
Raindrops fall upon the ground beneath your feet, so small.
… The storm continues to rage on.
You wonder if this will last until dawn.
The thunder rolls across the hills as lightning strikes the ground.
Lying in your bed, you look out the window, listening to the wondrous (thunderous) sound.

The Beauty of Winter
I wander through the winter snow
And watch as the wind continues to blow.
The river water has ceased flow…
This frozen realm has countless things to show.
Light shines on ground, causing it to glisten.
Winter birds still chirp fervently, if you listen.
Flourished flowers have now been frost bitten...
This frozen realm may cause a crude heart to soften.
A chill spreads through the morning air.
Snow sits on soil as you would a chair.
This genuine beauty makes life fair...
Snow and ice blend to make a lovely pair. ...

Through Others' Eyes
Through one’s eye, I am something,
But through another’s eye, I am something different.
Through a casual observer’s eye, I am nothing, but another person in this world,
But through a friend’s eye, I am one that is loved and well-known.
Through an enemy’s eye, I am one that is loathed, despised, and detested,
But through a lover’s eye, I am treasured, precious, and loved.
Through a loved one’s eye, I am someone that is always there,
But through a despised one’s eye, I am only another person that is never there.

A Beautiful Memory
An old photo upon the wall,
Sitting neatly in its frame as the years have gone by,
Was a photo I never truly looked at…
How could I have been so blind as not to see what it truly contained?
In my complex convoluted mind, these memories are forever stained.
A beautiful memory, that was almost forgotten,
But now flows through my mind like a fountain.
As I look at the ancient photo, the memories of that day begin to flood back.
A lovely spring afternoon fills the air with the scent of lilac.
It takes your breath as you look...
