Twilight

Darkness falls...

The beginnings of twilight.

It is in the dark, lonely hours...

that we hunt for them...

that we wander to them...

aimlessly seeking what sight alone

cannot itself see.

The shadows swallow us

as we hunt and wander...

alone as most of us do.

The "cold ones", the vampires...

follow our every movement...

our every breath...

our every heartbeat.

They walk among us...

live amongus...

So few know of their existance.

It's sad really...

Some them hunt animal blood...

Some them hunt human blood.

They have human instincts

and human emotions.

They may be buried deep,

but they're there.

We can only love for a lifetime.

They can love for an eternity.

As deadly and dangerous

as they are,

they can also be kind,

compassionate, safe...perhaps.

Even so, they are

what they are.

They may...kill to live, perhaps...

but many of them...

are still humane.

Enough so to live among us...

and walk among us.

They are beautiful,

but pale skinned.

They are solitary,

but well mannered.

They are secret,

but seductive.

And they are very graceful,

yet also very swift.

But darkness falls...

The beginnings of twilight.

It is in these dark, lonely hours...

that we hunt for them...

that we wander to them...

aimlessly seeking what sight alone

cannot itself see.

And all the while,

the shadows swallow us

as we hunt and wander...

alone as most of us do.

All within the shadows...

of twilight.
