Blood

Nectar of all life on earth,

Food for those who crave it.

That which gives us life can easily be taken away.

Life is so precious, why toy with it?

 

Some lives are shrowded in darkness,

Others are bathed in light.

Those souls that are hidden by shadows know how to lure others in.

You all ready may be lost to them

 

To those who's lives still remain in the light,

Remain strong against the darkness.

Once they have you there's no letting go.

You'll end up one of them.

 

Some don't mind the darkness.

Sucking the lives and souls from others.

Some people wanted it.

I do.

[Anima Inspired]

A very "deep" piece...the darkness and the mystery is both enchanting and powerful. Great word choice...brings home your topic quite nicely. The only thing I would suggest is a little edit in terms of punctuation--I saw a few places where periods where used and I think comma's would be better (or no punctuation at all), because the flow gets broken up a little bit. Other than that, this was a nicely written piece and an enjoyable read.

This piece shows the truths of society. You have narrated the so called negative vs the postive with great expression! *Lana*

i just love vampires, the power and the mystery... what a great look at the difference between humans and vampires.

Maybe ask yourself where you stand with respect to accepting the darkness in your life? Your poem suggests that one stay away from darkness yet you have embraced it. I do feel your struggle between the two, light and dark which makes this interesting to me.
