New days pass me by,
What shall I do when happiness reaches to me
When I have forgotten all the pain I've endured
When the past seems so shallow and uninteresting
Shall I smile to it or frown upon it
Perhaps a quiet life where distance makes me whole
Perhaps a new beginning to make up for a new ending
It's too late now, the flowers bloomed too early
The storm came and took away all the colors
It's time to accept pain with joy and gratitude
Because when the sun shines again
It shall be a warning for the keepers
Those whose flowers will bloom
Those whose eternal beauty shall shine
Those whose future is still bright

The feelings,
They hold the forte,
The feelings,
They come out of the chambers,
The feelings,
They're like a tempestuous sea,
He fights to put them under,
They sneak out and trouble him sore,
He wrestles to lock them up,
They break loose and perplex him,
Phantom beings reside in him,
Two sides in one,
Strange thoughts contest to take the wheels,
They shapeshift and metamorphose,
He seeks a way out of the jungle,
He steers his ship to come to land,
The mystery behind walls,
The human curse.

Call it problematic or fortuitous
my situation of continuous evolution
created many difficult moments,
finding food sources, young fresh blood,
immortality started in fourteen sixty one
seduced by feminine Beauty, initiated
into dark duties of nocturnal predators,
unable to end this undesirable existence,
so many changes through endless years
lifestyle, language, dress sense and diet,
blood to vampires wasn't essential just desired
especially fresh young sweet flavoured plasma,
now in the twenty first century being a vampire
though still undesirable there are easy pickings
due to mankind's carefree attitude towards others,
humans lack of decency is a vampires utopia.

Rain on rooftop gently pelts and slowly drips;
beneath the gust-battered brenches owls complain...
cooing and lamenting not to make it stay,
unless it tapers.

To see pain in eyes of purity.
If only a way to help you?
I fear your future.
Only to let you know my arms will always cradle.
Love live inside behind this unfair curse.
Breathe easy,my heart against yours.
My loyalty surrendered shall always keep you safe.
