Did someone say Dracula II? Like there haven't been a few hundred Dracula movies already? Oh well: Dracula II: Ascension is a sequel to Dracula 2000, with the ageless vampire again returning from apparent extinction. The twist is that Dracula's blood will be used by a researcher (baroque performance by Craig Sheffer) to reverse the effects of a crippling disease; Sheffer's assistants (read: vampire fodder) will help. Joining this scientific survey is long-haired vampire slayer Jason Scott Lee, who seems to have stalked in from another picture--but never mind Roy Scheider, whose wizened priest might be onscreen for all of 60 seconds. After a reasonably lively opening half-hour, this cheapie devolves into the usual blood-letting and illogical behavior. Some of the vampire lore is pretty diverting (did you know a vampire must untie every knot he sees?), but Dracula II is strictly for enthusiasts of the genre. --Robert Horton

The End

The sky is so deep, so dark

The light of the stars is so damn stark

When I look into the heavens, I fill with fear

If all we have, is what lies hear

in this lonely world, this troubled place

With cold dead stars and empty space

I see no reason to persevere

No reason to laugh nor to weep

None to sleep or ever to wake

No promises to keep or none to make

And so at night, I still look upon the heavens

To study the clear, but mysterious skies

Break Me

The lunatic inside my soul reaches out and touching you gently brings forth the blood from your multiple wounds.
Like a cat licking cream off its paw, I taste you and you are ever so sweet.
Like sin melting on the tongue, and the smell of jasmine in the air to cover the scent of you.
That powerful aphrodisiac that leaves me weak and wet.
The kaleidoscope of images from one single dream one single touch.
And I can feel you under my claws and the pain is so exquisite, I want to bleed with you.

still untitled

the stillness before the white hot burn

the joy expressed through pain

the silent shadow that slips between the sheets

the hiss and crackle of the unchecked flame

you make me writhe and choke and crave

my thoughts, my sins are so depraved

origins, lost in the fog, your call is so clear

hands tied, eyes blind, crystal cuts of deepest fear

my body, mind, my soul, a constant drain, I bleed

the last of my desires, you alone know how I need

Cuts Along Her Arm

Looking into the mirror
Determination clear
Horrible day
Horrible week
Horrible LIFE
Doomed to be the weaker
Beaten by drunken father
Raped by twisted stranger
She grips the blade tighter
So tense%2C so enraged
Cool shiney steel touches soft flesh
Quick flashes of reflected light
again... and again...
Sprays and streams of crimson flow free
her worries spill out over the floor
body falls as does her soul
final breaths rationalizing
They don't care...
They won't miss...

Plea to a Count

My dearest Count,
Oh Lord of night.
Your noble image,
Is a welcome sight.

I have waited, for so long,
I knew you would return.
For your bitter sweet kiss,
My humble neck does burn.

So come my dear,
And drink your fill.
Whilst in your arms,
I feel no ill.

Then leave you will,
I know you must.
But promise me you will return,
For in your word I trust.
