Original Poetry Fan Fiction ❯ Poems, poems...A small collection of them ❯ One Of The Night ( Chapter 15 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

This is something I wrote when I cut myself (No. Not self-mutilation, I'm not emo) running into a sharp corner of a desk. I watched it bleed for a moment before putting on a band-aid.

Friends of ours, yes friends of ours

Since ancient times, forlorn

Wandering the midnight hours

And so they shall forevermore

Resting within graveyard soil they deeply, deeply sleep

Dreaming things we'd never dream or even think to speak

Arise, they do, from their coffins, crypts and tombs

To feed upon those of living, yes that's what they do

On a night woven of most beautiful threads

Never seraph spread a pinion over fabric half so fair

On these nights not of the living but of the dead

Those gothic, deathly demons rise from their deep, dark lairs

Friends of ours, yes friends of ours

Of elegance, of beauty one cannot know in life

Yet, hearing the name of those damned creatures, even the strongest men would cower

Yet beautiful, so beautiful they fill us with desire

Of what, you say—of what, you say?

One cast a glance upon thine deathly gothic eyes

Yes, upon those hypnotic, lustful eyes

Those eyes as black as fire

Eyes as brilliant as the night

And they fill our hearts to the brim with the desire

To Be One of the Night…

Feeding upon something

Drinking of something—something, something, something

Feasting upon something so delectable so infernal—

I shan't even speak of what they drink

For God knows only what they eat…

Friends of ours, yes friends of ours

To see the light of day, nevermore

Wandering the moonlit night

Filling our dreams to the brim with fright

Feasting upon that crimson nectar with utmost delight

And as we gaze into those beautiful, ghastly eyes

We dream that we too may someday be

One of the Night…
