there is blood everywhere
we cant stop seeing it
we are surrounded by it

on the walls
the floors
must it be all there is

can we not see the sky
the grass
the very face of nature

the fabric of time is silent
warm but cold
nightmares of death

this place of emptiness
a loneliness i can't escape from

a pool of red that is as cool and smooth
as wine
yet a thickness that gives you a pause
the flavor so sweet
but regretful

Wings of destiny

The wings of destiny
Should be bright

But dark they are for me
The wings I should carry

A path they must keep open for me
Closed by doors dark with unknowing knowledge

Destiny has been torn from my grasp
Do I still have a path?

Does destiny still want me?
Or has it abandoned me for good

Vampire in my vision

Look no more into shattered glass
Vampires with their deception
Watch only awhile
For destructive my image be
Amplifies into a savage night

Hidden at forests edge
The secret of us all
A flower so black
Only vampires can behold

Ravens lead the way
To a home we’ve never known

See no more into fractured glass
We of the night
Reflections gone
Loneliness our path
Fatal to all that lives
Secrets we keep

Hidden at forest edge
A flower so black
With ruby’s red blood
Only we can behold

By black rose

fear

i sit in the darkness
for i can not see
why is it that emotion controls me
fear

i try to see the sun
but the cloudiness in my eyes
prevents me
fear

i want to feel safe
both day and night
but can't
fear

why is the darkness my comfort
but light my prison
fear

when i look inside myself is see a tornado of color
these colors are my emotions
emotions i can not control
fear

each color stands for one emotion
red is anger
blue is happiness
purple is sadness
black is hate
yellow is commonness
grey is fear

why can i not understand these emotions and control them
fear
do i really have these emotions
am i emotionless
a person who feels nothing

or is it something else
fear

My frozen isolation

My frozen heart
With empty soul
A place of isolation

Feelings numb and cold
Instead of a warm heart
One of stone and gem

A dark corridor
Icicles falling
A place of isolation

An empty helplessness
People expecting feelings
From me

When there’s nothing there
Nothing but darkness
An empty loneliness

A place of isolation
A dark hole in my chest
Where my heart used to be

Warmth I can never feel
For it has been ripped out of me
Fiery flames of romance
I will never be

Stop asking me to feel
Stop expecting me to care
We know that feeling of any kind
Will never come to surface

For I live in a place of isolation

Vampire call

Drain me
I entreaty
Tears like diamonds
Falling

Drain me
I beg
Make thyn humanity
To be arctic

As frozen as glaciers
No more can I endure
The pain
Living to harsh

Drain me
So I may be
Take away the pain
Set me free

Give me the gift
Keep me from
The sorrow

My vampire lover

Walking through the day
With utter emptiness
Sitting by windows edge
In the night

A chill I feel
Comfort I find
Darkest desires

I feel safe
With the shadows
Of night

As I sit he waits
He watches
Always making me safe

My vampire lover
My little secret
I sense his need
To be close

Knowing he’ll hear
I whisper
Come sit with me
For I have waited
Forever

No longer must you
Just watch
My love
For we shall
Do so eternity together
