The Nightfall Collection

The last rays of sun touch my traitorous face,
warming cold pale skin, surface deep.
Thoughts of you and the dawning night,
Fill my heart with childish fears.

As the days face turns away,
Leaving me to stand my stead.
Velvet threads caress the wind,
With teasing hints and lovers words.

I wonder more at my choice,
And will I ever laugh again?
To leave behind the blue hued days,
And come alive beyond the light.

You enter from I know not where.
I feel your darkness veil my fears.
The night draws ever closer now,
and cold soft lips consume the tears.

I long for the prick of your bittersweet kiss,
terrible consummation of dark desire.
The beast strives within to be released,
and time passes as drops of blood expire.

The deep sweet shock of pain inside,
Piercing, fracturing within the hearts soul.
Life flees the scene with blackened eyes,
death screams its ecstatic hold.

The gasp of death escapes still lips,
dark fluid agitates the blood.
Limbs burn with savage hunger,
And the night is mine to rip asunder.

Awaken now to this new world,
Hues of darkness, confusing swirls.
Life has changed amongst the throng,
And animal strength thrums a song.

What once was loved is now despised,
As seen through new vampire eyes.
I long to taste forsaken life,
And use my fangs to rip the night.

I dance through currents of the night,
and yearn for the healing warmth of sun.
Days thought blue, now seem as gold,
Are a penance filled with delights untold.

To turn back time and think again,
If I had know how it would end.
The blindness that I boldly courted,
Childish whims that should've been thwarted.

The family that I loved is gone,
A new becoming scarlet drenched.
uncontrollable urges siren a frenzy,
And fragmented souls are lost in screams.

Ill concealed by moonlight,
I wander through the streets.
The humans barely see me now,
To them I'm incomplete

Yet even so they dread me,
And try not to come near.
Until my eyes transfix them,
And hunger quells their fear.

I live my life in shadows,
Now forsaken and alone.
The love I thought eternal once,
Has shattered, turned to stone.

The darkness, it hides many sins,
Moon glow is too kind.
I need the sunlight harsh above,
To purify my mind.

One time I savoured golden rays,
And Summer days galore.
To feel the strength of death in light,
Consumes me more and more.

Out near dawn I wait apiece,
For velvet night and summer sun.
Play tag across a blood streaked sky,
And force my absent soul to fly.

I burn inside where darkness hides,
Flames flicker, lick behind my eyes.
Consuming death with ebbing tide,
And feelings drown a corpse alive.

Time is short and fading fast,
As failing, falling limbs collapse.
Acrid smoke escapes the shell,
And shooting fire breaks free from hell.

The spell is over, the curse is done,
Returning soul beats as the sun.
Anguished screams rent the air,
They turn to look, but no one's there.

Heart felt

Many fear the shadows of life,
grieving deeply for loved ones lost.
And the grains of sand fall through time,
counting the seconds to rebirth.

Moonbeams dance a silver path,
Lighting where imagination leads.
And velvet night, fair sunrise meet,
Too lessen the burden of lasting grief.

Take heart my friend on this sad day,
The lost are not so far away.
The love they felt surrounds you still,
To aid in swallowing life's bitter pill.

I thought a lot through out the night,
My suffering not a pretty sight.
I fought despair with forgotten might,
And lived again to see the light.

The light was not the blessing it seemed,
Although I thought to be been redeemed.
Harsh glare of truth cruelly gleamed,
Revealing things quiet as they seemed.

Nothing had altered in the cold light of day,
Bitterness and anger had not passed away.
So quietly fading to bed to stay,
Trying vainly to keep the daemons at bay.

False hope shines brightly before it burns,
The worm is a butterfly before it turns.
The delicate heart timidly yearns,
For the impossible miracle before it learns!

When should the end of life be 'nigh?
If you hope, and reach for the sky.
Only to fall again to ask why?
To beg, to plead and try not to cry.

Should you attempt to time a demise,
and as it draws near come to despise,
questions not answers it will realise,
And again have to live with cold compromise.

The heart and mind very oft disagree,
And yet, who could fairly referee
this tangled maze of hopes and fears,
that brings about such veils of tears.

In days of yore when knights were bold,
And damsels in distress.
The beasts that ruled the skies above,
Had armour plated breasts.

Oft coloured green and blazing red,
The phoenix they out shone.
Their necks as graceful as a Swan's,
They sang a fiery song.

The peasants gaped to see such sights,
The knights they did pursue.
Till Dragons no more walked the earth,
For the likes of me and you.
