Seemingly Through Space

Seemingly Through Space 
 
The Vampire stood at a viewpoint

gazing at the stars.

They were utterly still--cold,

harsh light without Earth's atmosphere

to make it twinkle.

Nuclear explosion nearly destroyed the Earth

several years ago,

and now the images are left unperturbed

No where to feed,

no one to bleed,

Now traveling seemingly through space,

looking, haunting,

remembering he doesn't die,

no cure,

no pure,

only to endure,

The Vampire's cry.

Gotta hand it to ya, you seem to know quite a bit about vampires. Vampire movies use to be my favorite back in the 70's. Now a days it's Aliens
