Vampire Sonnets Xviii Children of Darkness

We maneuver moonlight with such finesse
they often call us children of darkness;  
I touched the copper dripping from my fangs
upon my lips this liquid life force hangs; 

Warm daylight’s melody will decompose 
stars cradle us within southern shadows; 
So many people they stopped and then killed 
to ensure this dark instinct was fulfilled;

Suddenly I could feel Chance behind me 
 ‘This is just the tip of discovery.’
As the wind began to run through the air 
 I could feel her presence and smell her hair;
 
 ‘You can do more than you think you’re able,
 She’ll explain, let me introduce Fable.’
