Nature | Vampyres Only

Poetry

nature
calm, quiet, there
free, always-
the gentle filtering of light,
green through the leaves
a soft tickling of grass upon my ankles
the sigh of the wind through tree branches
the quiet, happy chatter of the birds
a soft spatter of color, flowers.
and now the soft, calming smell of dusk
the dimming light through my window
the soft purr and fur of a cat sleeping quietly by my side
and now the loving look in her eyes as she curls up on my stomach
and we stare out the window at the stars
and drift-
off-
to sleep.

Superstition Rules: Death, Murder, and Vampire Hunters

Although it's generally vampires who are considered deadly, those who hunt them down can be just as lethal, as the following modern-day stories reveal.

Vampires and Prohibitionists for President

Forbidden love
Ever hungering
Constantly yearning
Like an empty spot
In my soul
Your beautiful face
Haunting my sleep
Making me wish
That I could keep
You safe from harm
In my faithful arms

Slain Scientist's Daughter Arrested

March 5, 2002 (Leesburg, VA / AP) - 3 months after DNA scientist Robert Schwartz was stabbed to death with a two-foot sword and left with a ritualistic X carved in to the back of his neck, the case has turned out to be less exotic than investigators thought, but chilling nonetheless.

Forever

Like a circle in the sand, my life is a cycle.
Birth, life, love, death, rebirth, life... love.

Oh, but how much sweeter it is the second time around.
But can I do it?
To slip from one man's arms to another's.

I am surely not made for such casual affairs.
Yet how can I deny what I feel, what I've felt you feel.

There's nothing casual in human emotion.
How can I deny the passion ripping through me, straight from my soul, when your lips claim mine.
