Twilight
Is that you there
I recognize that stair
Those eyes of a faraway dream
Fancy seeing you here, on this twilight day
While walking along this
Sterile bay…
Just watching the glassy water
Reflecting, this twilight day
A great time to be out
No fear of the burn
Of a tyrannical sun
A nice balance of shadows
Light, a gray twilight day?
Where we are safe, I must say...
Yes you know, oh and by and by...
The way my hunger is at bay
If only under tremendous pain
But the fiery veins of your neck call
My hunger needs but, I must keep and only, tip
My hat n walk away in this twilight day
Nice to see you n your lovely wife
She could be a treat tasty, fresh a delight
But I can wait for the shadows to play
I may come to visit for tea, a bite? Ha!
Too right! Don’t take stock in that crucifix...
So ironic don’t you think, but quite now
Listen, I must think...of the conflicts
Do you hear the sweet sounds of the doomed
The howls of the wild beasts
The music from the holly cost?
The infernal and the damned...SOON!
Well? Until til we meet again in these twilight days
This delicate gray light of doom
Ash drifting in strange currents
As I will dine on your fears
Drink your moral tears
And bath in your life
So un-till then, may me meet again
During the grey noon!
And dine on the lives of the insanity
Welcome to this twilight light
This time between frozen realities
On the fringes of forever and ever
As we sit in this doom light
Of proto-apocalypse
So hello, here you are witnessing the eclipse
I recognize that stair, those eyes of far, far away dreams,
Fancy seeing you there, on this twilight day
While walking along this sterile bay,
Just watching the glassy water reflecting
This twilight day is a great time
To be out, don’t you think? No! Not the crucifix
No tyrannical sun burning...no conflicts
Nothing to fear but the turning...
Only, going blind
in the grey night
of twilight!
