Moonlight and Dark

by Stories of a Phoenix

A beautiful creature
Stands in front of me.
I am aware,
An open blooming flower,
Anticipating the warm
Rays of the sun.
It opens its mouth to speak,
Blood flows
From the scarlet lips.

Quick as a blur,
The creature sets me free.
I am aware,
Staring into the black
Eyes of the hunter,
I close my heart.
Gurgling onto the pavement,
Blood flows
From my own wound.

Now I start to fade,
Into the starry night.
I am aware
Of what I will become,
But I feel free,
Knowing my destiny.
Here I fall,
Blood flows
For the last time.

I am reborn,
A child of the darkness.
I am aware,
A beating heart,
Pumping and warm
Beats for a final minute,
And I make my first strike.
Blood flows,
I am consumed.
