Once made, there is
one more Immortal
walking and stalking
the living and dying

Stars and moon their heavenly light
darkness home eternal flight
Never may they greet the Sun
t'would burn them til they are undone

But how to staunch this fascination
I'm drawn into their alienation
Wantonly they make their rules
and see mere humans as the fools

They witness cycling of the eras
perspective lasting ages
With wisdom that is thus accrued
they are akin to sages

Yet we have what they need to thrive
the blood that keeps us all alive
Though weak and vulnerable we are whole
Immortals sadly lack a soul
Ammukutty's poem Vampire reminded me of my own somewhat abashed fascination.
I have relished every Ann Rice Vampire novel.
I now see Vija also wrote a Vampire square.  
For some reasons these mythical creatures hold a place in our psyches .

Considered by me only
after countless casualties
result of internal battle

Surrender
to this moment
to what is
within and before me
not judging right or wrong


Receive what Is.

Then

Make
a
Choice
Surrender, a concept much discussed with my highly valued stubborn self ; this writing inspired in part by a conversation thread in which Bala spoke about surrender being now an unpopular position.

I must serve
I must give
So far this ensures
I deserve to live.

I touch to heal
your pain I feel
compassion sublime
is for you, but not mine

What can I give you
I need to feel good
Take what I offer
it is understood

your business is mine
I know what to do
Just listen to me
or else we are through

My own needs are boring
it is yours that excite
This is my purpose
Just turn off the light
I thought I had shattered this  pattern once I became aware of it....but I find it still drives me.
Stimulated further to write this in response to Bala's poem about life not being a popularity contest.

Leaf swings in a web
I imagine it's not me
**Slice through Illusion !

I bow to you who nurtures
to you who loves ~~  is loved
imagination fertile
playmate on the par
sparkling mind expanding mind
it's beauty that you are

I see with joy dreams dared and shared
borne from deep embrace
support with give and take you make
shared life a sacred place
Mother's love has not been prime need, long time now.  
This poem is written for the woman who loves, and is loved by my son.

to welcome my fall to earth's sweet rest
after  heat of delirious growth

to call myself inside
and care for what's living
to thrive though missing sweet free moving breeze
safe shuttered from starlight and sun

to mend what I've rended
and re-imagine colors that swirl into one
still learning to flow with my seasons of change

Tender man, raised to play
we loved on a dream
which became all too real
or so it did seem.

Our childhood is finished,
parents' and child~~~
grown beyond both of us.
Evolution is wild.

You still have the chance
to walk out of your haze
and see your son.
You'll be amazed.
