The night embraced the
sleepy city yet again,
The moon shines silvery upon this world of
men.
He kneeled before the cross of God – praying
For his
disease to go away, but he was not complaining.
His fever was
up high and he had hallucinations
All the shadows in the room
seemed like devilish temptations
And the air was harder to
breathe, his heart was racing,
But he was heroically fighting with
the sickness he was facing.
The wind was blowing cold putting
out the shimmer candle light
As a mistress's silhouette walked
in his room making him fright.
"Who are you?" he said – his
voice trembling with insecurity,
But the woman didn't answer
mesmerized by his untouched purity.
Suddenly the room went
cold and he felt shivers down his spine
"I have come to release
you from your pain and make you mine"
The mistress now replied
and within a second she was standing by his bed
"Go away! Leave
me alone!" was all that he could have said.
She paid no
attention to his words and she got closer to his face
"Have
trust in me, my dear, and let us share eternity's grace"
And
she gently kissed his neck searching cautiously for a vein
To push
her fangs within it quickly so there'll be no pain.
Before
he knew what was going on his heart had stopped beating,
She
turned him into her kind and prepared him for fleeting
Away from
that place where sickness seemed at home –
He was now in the
arms of the undead thrown…
Many days had passed since his
sudden transformation
He was now unwillingly darkness's
creation.
He did not want to live forever in the gloomy night
And
his mistress's presence was not wanted in his sight.
Feeding
with the blood of the humans that were once his kind
Was something
outrageous that could not be assimilated by his mind,
From the
start, he did not want to be part of this so called life;
This was
not as the woman had planned – she was now in strife.
One
night he ran away finding shelter underneath a tree
"I do not
wish to be undead – this is not the real me!
God where are you?
Please release me from all of this
And may that fiendish woman
burn in Hell along with her mortal kiss!"
His body was weak
for he didn't feed since he was made
As he hoped that hunger
will help him faster to fade
And when he felt like he was left
alone, abandoned by all
Exquisite white angels surrounded him for
they heard his desperate call.
Their faces bared no signs of
hate; their eyes were filled with love
Amidst doves and divine
rays of the purest light sent from above.
"Come, child, don't
be afraid! Father sent us to bring you in our paradise"
"But I
am a fallen one…" he said with crimson tears in his eyes.
"You
did not cope with the creature in which you were transformed,
You
still strived to be human and you wanted your heart adorned
With
the purity that you still keep buried deep inside your core
And so
you are now as welcomed to our Heaven as you were before."
He
remained astonished by the angel's words and so
He got up from
the muddy ground and felt ready to go.
The angles took him in
their arms and they rose in God's empire
Where darkness never
reigns and peace burns bright like fire.
