Frank F. Atanacio Poet Dramatic Verse

Darkness of Lies

Through the night skies,
they could hear the echos and cries,
the vampire hunter exchanged greetings with his Lord,
who was polite but stiff in his replies,
he didn’t envy his Lord,
his life less-human, and more vampire,
the vampire hunter was a tomb raider,
and his Lord was a vampire traitor,
as he fights against his own race,
he’s a vampire’s disgrace,
the hunter felt a twinge of sympathy,
he could see the emptiness in his Lord’s eyes,
he has no more vampire ties,
a traitor to his kind, hiding behind,
the darkness of lies.

Carolyn Devonshire March 31, 2009 at 12:24 PM Very intriguing concept of a "vampire hunter," who is fighting "his own race." Vampire mysteries have been quite popular in the last two centures. Wonder what type of behavior prompted people to consider the likelihood of vampires? Interesting work, Frank (And I sent you a Soup Mail.)
