When I am alone in the night
The velvet darkness reminds me:
Of the whisper-soft touchof your hair,
Of the deep midnight pools of your eyes,
Of your raiment; so like the night itself;
Clinging, cloaking, shielding
With dark mirrors of illusion,
Of the jewels at your throat; jet on ivory.
The images invoked by my memory
Catalysed by the very darkness
We shared.
Your image is engraved upon my eyelids
Inescapable.
I am a prisoner of my memories,
Trapped in a glass box
Like a killing jar,
Slowly murdering my heart of any living warmth,
To be replaced by cold emptiness.
Without your cold white fingers to
Touch me, and my soul.
I am left with the ashes of memory
Yearning to see, to hear, touch, smell, taste
Something besides the empty night.

do not ever eat the bird
their wings tap furiously against
the ribbed vault of thy palate
do not swallow the incarnated freedom
do not dare to awake me
i do not belong to the sun-worshipping tribe
no! do not feel sorry
i am happier that way

After Ernest's departure Ethel Brandenbourg's heart was swaying hither and thither in a hurricane of conflicting feelings. Before she had time to gain an emotional equilibrium, his letter had hurled her back into chaos. A false ring somewhere in Ernest's words, reechoing with an ever-increasing volume of sound, stifled the voice of love.

My desire is burning
Fangs sink deep into my breast
The Immortal Kiss


Forbidden passion
building - devouring me
it demands his blood


My fangs sink deeply
Bonded by blood and body
Ecstacy prevails

I have yearned for tonight for so long,
In nights dark cloak I wait.
How can what we want be wrong?
When all we feel is love not hate.


Here within the stable block,
I nestled in the hay.
Whilst listening for the churchyard clock,
To chime the hours away.


I felt not fearful of the night,
Or anything within.
For he had given me clearer sight,
Of nature and her kin.


Though he was only a humble man,
And I a highborn lady.
We loved as no two others can,
For that was our sweet destiny.
