Death In The Night.

Goldfinch60



As day turns to night, and the sun disappears,

I leave the safety of my hidden place

And fly into the night.

I fly on black, silent wings,

Moving me with ease through the air.

Looking down, I see a world below me,

That is dying.

They kill each other for no reason.

But I can stop that!

I can make it that they live forever.

As I land amongst them

And feed on their blood,

My fangs deep in their veins,

They become as immortal as I.

I am sated for another night.

I spread my wings and fly back to my hidden place,

Returning to the safety of my tomb for another day,

Until the sun leaves the sky,

When once more I go into the darkness,

Where I may seek you out.

            A tinge of Vincent Price there Andy... bats and fangs and sanguine images flutter about.
