VampireA Poem by Charlène BoutinNight is a mystery to some, but has become my best friend.The breeze has calmed, there is nothing left but the stillness of the moonbeams descending upon the quiet Earth, mostly asleep and stopped. The black veil of darkness envelopps my cold shoulders My skin tingles at the sensation of pure nothingness And serene stillness Settling down in sprinkles of sweet darkness all around me. The rays of the moon, hanging up above in this inky black sky, Shine upon my paper-white skin And fills me with yet another sensation Of the Vampire Feeling.
Silence hangs within My eyes glow and spy the emptiness of the surroundings Breathing the inspiration that emanes from the very essence of This black veil, so utterly beautiful. This night, like every other night, Hides no secrets from me. I am the night; The night is me, Our existence is but one bond Tied together by my beliefs And this veil that colours the skies. Endless visions infiltrate my mind, now one with the Night I inhale them, savour them And as I exhale, the Night is there, inside of me Dancing upon the walls of my mind Time has no meaning...
I am a Vampire, and I rule the darkness The world of existence is mine I rule the very borders of the mind I swim in the emotion that the veil of Night Weaves around my soul I embrace the dangerous thoughts of the shadows And dance beneath the sillouettes of Time I adventure myself in the dangers of imagination And collect the blood of broken hearts I am a Vampire, and I awaken with the darkness And I live until the first rays of the scorching sun irritate my skin Until the veil of pure black evaporates in the daylight And my face darkens into a shield of protection Against the sun's fiery glow. Time flows back in, everything ends in a sudden blast of light...
When night weaves a cucoon in the skies of time, I am a Vampire, breathing the still, cold air...

Artists are gifted with the vision of this world, and can bring forward these visions to others. The world I see goes beyond my eyes, beyond my own life. I hop.. more..Writing
