She creeps up on silent feet, whispering in my ear to ready myself once again, for the first time....

We've shared this embrace, my long lost lover. Your pale hands wrapped round my wrist to drag me to this sea of moonlight.

And as we float on the shade and shadow, the bottom falls from beneath us and we plummet into the blackness.

That cold encasing blackness that fires my soul.

Did you miss me as much as I missed you, my dark beauty?

Did you miss our dance beneath the bright moon, full and heavy, dripping with ice?

A glitter in the eye
A smile to add surprise
A soul that would defy
A cold heart in which to hide
A mind harmed by lies

A glance in hopes to confide
A cheek down which a teardrop slides
A vampire who would cry
A reaction that cannot be defined
A barrier within the mind
