The dawn's light shines on the calm pond,
It sparkles in a way where you cannot see it at any other time.
If a photo was taken, a masterpiece would stay inside
Forever.
Tall trees surrounding, going around each side.
Even if the sun is shining,
I know not to hide.
I fear the bright rays, but these trees protect me
It is just like a large boat being protected by the sea.

The crimson drops stain my skin as I wipe liquid from my mouth,
I dip my hands in that crystal water to wash the taste of tin
It comes off quickly, blood is simple to get off the skin.
As I sit against a chocolate trunk, my mind flashes back.
I just took a life, a young woman's blood.
Curses come upon me as I despise who I am,
Living by taking the lives of others, it is hard to bear.

Sometimes I just go without,
Though it gets overwelming.

In a brief moment I come to a conclusion.
I hide with my cloak and go to a wide clearing.
I admire the view for this one last time.

I remove my armor and instantly I feel the suns piercing.
A split second and life pauses, a thought comes to mind:
Maybe I will be reborn?
Time returns and I silently mutter to myself
I suppose life is tough as a creature of the night,
Wandering through life, unable to see the suns light.

yeah it's not astounding, but it has an easy follow format and the write itself was curiously beguiling - just read Descendent by Graham Masterton, about "Screechers" - vampires; so nice to see the vamprire narrative thriving, Col.

I happen to know a few vampires.. heh, I bet you think I'm crazy. but I can tell you that the ones I know hate themselves and the ones who turned them. It's a hard unlife.wonderful write, well expressed.

i love the imagery you used. perhaps that was what the assignment was?? anyways, i think its great, no matter how old it is. i wish i could write on demand haha, but i can't, probably why i'll never take a creative writing class =]] ~*kitten*~

Thank you =). Hm.. It may have been an imagery assignment, actually. We did have random things like that like metaphors or something for homework(maybe I'll post those). Ha, I love writing but usually I get something like this if it's forced :p
