The Vampire! By Sophira

The vampire! A creature of the night, certainly.

Such a creature! Made of blood, magic, and death.

So you have always been told, so you have long believed.

Yet where am I? Not at your window, and not at your door.

I want naught of you, and your baneful ballads.

I keep to my kindred and to myself. Scarce. Solitary.

A fiend in the starlit night, fangs flashing in the shadows.

Dust to the stars, then, and ashes to the moon.

I am not the monster you would have me be,

And I will not conform to the tune.



(from Asher's POV)


Watching Each Other By Sophira

A sheen of gold, glittering in the light

A rare smile, for once unhidden

Bright laughter, sliding like rain

Over skin too long without water

A sorror as old as time, endless

As the sky and deep as any ocean

Eyes following a beloved figure

Drowning, loving, crying, vying

For the attentions of a lover

Too close, yet so far away

Eyes of frosted blue color

Such extraordinary beauty

Such extraordinary pain

So easily vanquished, if only

Could you with new eyes

Upon the one watching you?

Asher By Sophira

Painful
Tightness in my chest
Stiletto in my heart
Thinking of life without
Asher

Radiant
The light that he shines
From his eyes and his heart
Shaking his golden hair
To slide over his shoulders
And shattering the lights like
Golden mirrors in a blaze of
Splendor

Tears
Glittering in ice-blue eyes
The breaking of hearts
The beauty in those eyes
Heartbreaking

Love
Drowning in my memories and
Drinking you down with my eyes
Such everlasting physical beauty
To blink would cause me pain
Yet those same eyes are frosty
Cold with anger and pain and hurt
Hurt only true love can cause
Watching you walk away in
Silence
