The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

In hollow silence I did wait,
brushing dirt from the grave from my hair,
and dusting off my rumpled clothes.
How could they have mistaken my rest
for the slumber of the dead?
I remember calling out,
but not hearing my voice.
In echoed laughter I embrace my new life,
I see through enlightened eyes,
and feel through sensitive nerves
that have never felt this way before.
I hunger for forbidden food,
my ears can hear and sense
the pumping of human blood through tender veins.
My very being is drawn to drink of the fountain
that is human life.
I fight against my need to feed
but for how much longer.
I do not feel like the monster they would call me.
I want only to deliver the unhappy souls into
peaceful slumber.
To release the souls of the desperately dull
to fly above the mundane and become immortal.
To live forever.
