Giver of Eternal Life
BY: WINTER SKYE
I sit alone staring into the night,
The moon comes out full and bright.
The air is cool and damp upon my face,
All is quiet in this moonlit place.
Then silently out of the darkness you appear,
You’re in front of me standing so near.
You look like an angel with your skin so pale and white,
I’m afraid to look away for if I do you might turn and take flight.
You speak and your voice is so soft and low,
Almost a whisper and without hesitation your words flow.
You say to me, “I’ve been watching you all evening my love,”
“Come with me and I’ll take you to the stars above.”
I stand and take your hand and feel your cold skin against mine,
I gasp at the touch but you assure me everything’s fine.
We walk along hand in hand to a clearing with soft grass,
Sitting together gazing into each other’s eyes while time continues to pass.
Breaking the quiet I ask, “who are you?” with a hint of fear,
“Don’t be afraid my darling, there is a reason I have brought you here.”
“They call me the giver of eternal lifeand I wish for you to spend eternity with me.”
With some surprise I ask, “The giver of what? How can this be?”
You gently whisper words of comfort as you take me in your arms and hold me so close,
I breath you in deeply as your sweet scent assaults my nose.
I feel both excitement and a bit of fear as you gently kiss my neck,
Trying to anticipate your next move, my nerves were a total wreck.
I then felt the pain as your sharp fangs ppierced my skin,
I felt my life force dwindling as you took my blood in.
As I faded into darkness I could no longer feel,
My last thought as I took my last breath was this can’t be real.
You took me to your place of rest until the sun next went down,
Staying by my side, you waited for me to come around.
When I finally awoke I was utterly and terribly frightened,
I felt so different and my senses were heightened.
I felt power and strength like I’d never felt before,
I saw things and heard things that I couldn’t ignore.
My throat burned and I had a thirst for some blood,
But I felt more alive, like a flower beginning to bud.
You looked at me with a smile that was so wide,
I smiled back and you asked me if I was ready for the ride.
I shyly took your hand and we took to the sky,
Loving the free feeling of learning to fly.
I was finally happy, I was finally free,
I could spend life with you forever and eternally.
You beautiful creature, you were now mine and I was yours,
Our love and our souls we bound deep within our cores.
I was so proud to become part of your clan,
Giver of eternal life I was now able to understand.
I gave your hand a squeeze as we walked through the door,
to live as husband and wife forever and ever more.
