The Cycle

The Sun...sinks.

From the growing Twilight...

We Emerge.



Our life once

limited to the

span of human

Normality.



Changed...by the need...

by the Lust...of Our Sires,

We now stand Immortal

at the threshold of Night.



Moonlight...firing our Spirits,

The sweet savor of Life-blood

Awakens Our Hunger.



Hunters...stalking the Night...

not out of Malice...but out

of Need.



Need that causes our teeth

to sharpen...need that gives

The Crimson Tongue.



Red Life spilling down Our

throats...the Prey in ecstacy

from the Kiss...



Never knowing it is the last...

Save that We choose to Sire...

To create.



And in creating the Sire

becomes also the Dam...

Within the Dam the need

is Born...



Reforming...

and becomes anew...

The Lust we sought

to begin once more,

The Cycle.
