"Vampire" by Kyle S.C. Pereira

SciFi/Fantasy text 5 out of 5 by Kyle S.C. Pereira. ←Previous - Next→

I thought of the first line right before bed. Truly I amaze myself right before I sleep, but usually forget by the time I wake up.

He rose as if asleep still,

Lumbering down a hall eternal.

And the fires on the wall

Cast a heated light unto

Death.

His eyes stared as if blind,

Gazing forever into dusk.

And the fires on the wall

Cast shadows,

Into the night.

His hands reached as if towards life,

Grasping at Light.

And the fires on the wall

Blazed with the strength of a thousand suns,

But shadows still lurked.

He stopped as if caught,

Hands grasping Light,

Eyes in the shadows.

And lived a half-life.

Pereira replies: "Dreams are, in my experience the best. Too bad i havent had any that i can remember since I got the idea for this."
17 Oct 2003	Amory Koch	Loading... Mmmm vampires... He seems sad in the poem, like he (or she) wants to reach the light but can't. I'm not sure about the thousand sun part, seems sorta cliched and not quite fitting with the sort of grey/ darkness feel to the rest of the poem (and my preconcieved notions of course Kyle S.C. Pereira replies: "Yup the vampire is sad. And you might be right about the one thosand suns line. Either I ment the torches to be symbolyic of the years, or of the lives that he/she took. "
23 Apr 2008	Syn Nykols	Loading... the last line really stands out, a life of eternity I don’t think would suit you, you seem to view it as a death that never ends... maybe it is
