A shadow, nothing more, barely noticeable against the black sky on the other side of the glass he leaned on. Dark thoughts, as dark as the night beside him, ran through his head, regrets. She was too good to be restricted to spending her life in the shadows and depths of the night. He had been too selfish and hadn't enough self control to save her from it, to stop himself. He thought of her and found her in his mind instantly, running through the forest satisfied and full of regret and self-hatred. He thought to her with gentle calmness, I'm sorry for the life you have now, the things you must do now. In the forest she stopped wrapped in his silky voice in her head, and replied with, You warned me, didn't you. It wasn't a question and he hung his head, despising himself. She felt his overwhelming sadness and added, If you hadn't, I wouldn't have found you, I wouldn't be near you, and this is better than the sun. She started running again and Darius knew the conversation was over, the connection severed.  He couldn't help but feel regret for being what he was, and who he was, weak willed and entirely not strong enough to resist her. He had followed her for weeks before the meeting in the park, his own fault. For not being strong enough to look away from her to go feed, for following her hungry, knowing he was not strong enough to resist. He hung his head again and waited for her return, with thoughts that now rivaled the darkness outside.
   She continued to run, with her mind purposely empty, and concentrated on going faster, and faster. Whipping by the trees and over the undergrowth that only moved marginally as she sped by, leaving everything she passed undisturbed and without evidence of her passing. Seeking the solace of the black, the shadows, that came with the moonless night. Deep sorrow filled her then as she let a thought of her former life, her living life, enter her mind. She stumbled slightly but didn't slow down even a fraction, pushing the thought from her mind again, and in an effort to keep them out, thought of her "life" now. She thought of everything she had now that she didn't, and never would have experienced before the encounter with Darius. Her thoughts turned to him swiftly without her permission, and she stumbled again, this time unable to stop herself from falling. She flew through the trees, fortunately missing them, and landed on her backside on a pile of thankfully soft undergrowth. She sat up and wiped her hands on her jeans, and sat there for a second. Then with the force of all her strength, a considerable amount now, brought both hands down on the soggy earth, frustrated with herself and her thoughts, shaking the ground for a mile around. She could hear the creatures scurry for safety and the ground settle again. She got up and walked the last hundred yards to the house she shared with Darius at the edge of the city. As she walked through the door his presence surrounded her and her breathing tripped momentarily at the shock of the sensations that followed entering his presence.

Angels in Disguise

uncertainty unease
wraps around like a wet cold blanket
seeking for warmth
in these dark streets
strangers
coins thrown
like peanuts at the zoo
litter thrown around by the breeze
night skys tremble
and threaten rain
paper walls
to protect living souls
innocence is drawn away
confusion to describe it
repulsion to deny it
let us drift away
unheard unseen
forgotten in these streets
shadows to walk on
trip over
cast aside
gaze upon us
survivors in this repulsive race
human to the core
basics back in order
reacting to the chaos
refusing to wonder
what may have been
what could be
live love
be happy
but remember
and be thankful
we are the saints you dont see
the ones you dont remember
the reminder when your forgetful
to be grateful
and thankful
for food
for water
for sturdy walls
we are angels in disguise

To My True Love
Black Silk.
Pale Skin.
Red Roses.


Timeless Passion.
Endless Heat.


Words Just Can’t Be Found.


Blue Eyes And Green.
Lips.
Melt Together.


Ecstasy. It’s Purest Form.


Driving Need.
Be One.
Two Hearts Beating.


Gasps of Breath.
Deepest sighs.


I Wish.
Now And Forever…

Cont. Fr. Friday, Oct. 23, 2009

Raven black hair whipped across her face as she stared out over the city lights. The wind crashing through her ears and around her tall figure atop the skyscraper. Trying to deny her hunger, she thinks of Darius. Her eyes softening instantly at the thought of his strong face and deep forever-changing eyes. Regretting her denial she stoops low on the rooftop and leaps forward, free-falling downward. Her favorite part of what she had become, the exhilarating falling sensation.The freedom of flight, without flying. Spotting her next meal, she sweeps down beside a dumpster and walks casually out of the alley. Following the man to his car, she opens the passenger door and steps in. He looks over at her, a surprised and shocked look on his face, but words don't escape his mouth as her eyes change and he laughs and starts the car. During the drive he chatters to her as if they had known each other for years. She hated deceiving innocents, but she had to eat somehow. They round a bend in the road and he pulls over and looks at her quietly, waiting. She looks at him again and leans toward him sliding his tie loose and pulling his collar down to unveil his throat. She slides across the seat, into his lap, straddling him. She kisses his cheek and whispers in his ear, a gentle "Sorry." Moving her mouth lower on his throat, she bites into the tender flesh covering the artery. Blood gushes into her mouth and she moans with pleasure at the rush, the satisfaction. As she finishes, she wipes the memories from his mind and steps from the vehicle, leaving him to awaken later, confused and wondering. With a thought she breaks into a run and disappears faster than the human eye could trace.

Still, After All
Fog settles heavy against a barren sky.
Buildings slice through yearning to be seen.
Brittle souls walk upon the grass across the city,
And life passes by.


A flowers struggles to grow in the crack of a sidewalk.
Precious petals reach for sunshine.
Helpless insects destroyed all around by heavy feet,
And life goes on.


Great waves crash against wonderous boulders.
A crab crawls on the sand just barely out of reach.
Pearls see their homes die as they are collected,
And life continues.


A miracle is witnessed as a child is born.
Tears falls across cheeks as a mother is buried.
Cold earth is packed around a wood coffin,
And still, after all, life lingers.

For Love...
Three little words that mean so much,
Give so much, take so much.
Empires have fallen, kingdoms crumbled,
For love, all for love.


Eight letters that accept so much,
Hurt so much, heal so much.
People have died, and many have lied,
For love, all for love.


One moment in which the heart shatters,
Beat faster, breaks.
The world falls back, the world is lost,
For love, all for love.


Two people who trust, who commit,
To sacrifice, to retain.
Religion has denied and admitted,
For love, all for love.


All for your love my Darling,
I could ruin an empire or kingdom.
I could hurt, I could heal.
I could deny, I could admit.
I could let the world fall away and be lost,
For your love, all for your love

Dreaming of Winter
Footprints in the snow
Scattered amongst the trees
Sunlight sparkles
On gently falling flakes
Laughter floats on a crisp breeze
Skates can be heard
Biting the ice
Gliding and tripping
She looks at him
With laughter behind green eyes
He catches her grin
Pulls her close
His blue eyes shimmer
With Humour
White snowflakes fly
Their butts hit the bank
Laughter bubbles all around them
Through the silence

A Single Red Rose
A single red rose
A single tear shed
For those we love
For those we held dear
For all that is lost
For all we will gain
Together and apart
Forever and not again
For before
For today
For tomorrow
And everything between

The night closes in around me as I walk through the park and the fog drifts around my feet. A tingling up my spine causes my feet to move faster, nearly tripping me. A sudden noise in front of me makes me stop. Looking around myself, wondering if I am delusional, and fairly certain I am, something brushes my shoulder, and I whip around to see nothing. I shake my head at myself and continue walking quickly, a small adrenaline rush going through my body, urging me on. A hand clamps over my shoulder and I spin around to stare into bottomless black eyes that seem to bore into my very soul. He grabs my hand gently and leads me, to my own surprise, without protest, to a nearby bench and pushes me down. My senses return to me and I jump up again, suddenly intent on demanding what he wanted. I look at him, opening my mouth to speak, and see a commanding, stunning stare compelling me to sit back down. He continues to stare through me, not seeming to notice I am there, and still I can't speak. Just as suddenly as he came upon me, he was beside me on the bench, talking frantically and certainly in another language, because my mind wouldn't register what he was saying, or didn't want to. When I realized he was warning me, I woke up from the state I was in, (what else could you describe it as) I understood. He wanted me to do something. But what? And then he took my head in his hands, tilted it to the side, and slowly brought his lips to my neck. At the last instant it clicked in my brain, almost audibly. As the thought entered my head, too late, I felt the pressure at my neck and his teeth pierced my skin and with frightening clarity the blood draining, being leached from my veins. That is the night I died.... Well almost.

About the Blogger.

I write short parts of stories, that in my head, I have the entire book playing through my head like a movie on uber fast forward. In this manner I create within others the horrible urge to beat the rest of the story out of me... or at least I hope I do. I am in my twenties. I have a family, but I don't write about them. I am greedy that way. They are mine and mine alone. I don't want to share. I write about anything that has nothing to do with me, sometimes the unexpected and sometimes a different version of what hundreds of others have written hundreds of times. Hope you enjoy at least some of it.
