“Vampyre Prayer”
by Gabrielle Faust

Could I be dissuaded to decide between
That which is best forgotten,
Shredded seams of screams that
Bind us to that which is taught
To covet by society gleaming in the
Falsetto staccato sunlight
Generated by the multitude of
Envious souls that throng about
The base of the substantial recreation
Others have instinctually learned to
Tune, like a fine violin, so subtle, sweet,
Bending into the melodies of the storm
We’ve unintentionally created
That swirls about us with such ferocity,
That a dream within a dream,
At times is swept out to sea,
To leave only that which is determined
To be believed by those that
Awaken to the knowing that
It is only a dream;
Could I be persuaded to choose
Between that dream,
And a more subtle illusion,
That the fantastical can be made real,
Through the focused desire of a generation,
That everything we have coveted could
Be realized through a storm brewing
In the eyes of those of nocturnal familial
Foundries where what was flesh was smelt
To liquid gold and poured forth into the
Mouths of unwitting mortal souls,
To be reclaimed by the darkness
In the corners and alcoves that I have
Only known for my entire being;
Is that where I will find the answers?
I ask this in humble subservience to
The universe upon bended knee,
Knowing that so many of my
Blood kin kneel the same,
That we, in our consciousness,
Have come to understand that life is
Not life without that which is sacrificed;
We are immortal within mortal,
Life within Un-life,
Death within that which crawls
Forth upon ragged limbs to offer
Up all that shall be rectified in the eyes
Of Nature;
There is beauty in the questioning of existence,
There is tragedy in the silence that rings after,
But we are all we are,
Merely the belief in one another,
Our desire for the other to exist enough
To keep the gods content for another night;
We are night,
We are nature,
We are beauty,
We are prayer,
We are all,
We are everything,
We are each other,
We are nothing,
We are that which is
And shall always be;
Love to all who walk in
In the darkness,
Forever,
Blessed be…
