Into The Night
They call this place
The City with The Eternal Lights
but one lady filled with pity
had enough and settled for flight
She walks down the streets
searching for something right
resting for a while on the city's seats
waiting for the twilight
For into the night
her spirit longs to be
freed from others' sight
where no one else can see
Just up ahead
she might meet her doom
away from all she had fled
she could find some room
Maybe in delusions
where truth lies hidden
she won't fall for illusions
but might do the forbidden
The girl sighs into the wind
wishing for her pain to end
the dark hides many things
and no one knows what the night brings
She is both young and old
if the truth be told
freed from the sunlight
she flees into the night
What wonders will wait
if the girl doesn't hesitate
maybe she'll find out soon
under a mysterious silver moon
Up ahead in the shadow
waits a girl around five
watching the lady approach in a window
her fate is the stranger's drive
The girl knows her name
sensing it and her need
it is the same old/new game
with the special seed
They meet in an empty house
the girl takes the lady's hand
and gently removes her blouse
and skirt letting them drop to the sand
The lady stands naked waiting
for she knows not what
sensing danger but not hesitating
the answer is here which she sought
Softly as a bee on a flower
the girl kisses silky skin
for there is a hidden power
the lady will gladly enter in
Tenderly the lady hugs the child
who seems so tender and mild
who looked so helpless under the street lights
her illusions fade into the night
An inner burning desire
fills the lady's being
a thought burning like fire
to reveal the girl's body to the night's seeing
She reaches over to the child's dress
and freed the tied strings
she lets it drop with a caress
the lady wants what the brings
Softness meets as their hands glide
massaging young nipples and sensative breasts
over silky smooth skin their hands slide
sending passion sailing over emotional crests
Deep in a hidden celler they kiss
sealing their previous bargain
the girl kisses a trail on the young miss
sending their passion echoing again
The lady tenses in alarm
but relaxes again into the dark
with the girl she is safe from harm
where love leaves no known mark
A moth flying in the night
is drawn to a burning light
a lady fleeing from sight
looses herself in the twilight
Not quite like mosquitoes
biting into her waiting body
the lady rejoices as her blood flows
a gift freely given
She feels her troubles lift
as her life drains away
just a simple gift
to free her to a new day
She sighs into the night
ready to find a new sight
the girl removes her fangs and sighs
as into the night the lady dies
Like a sly crook
light steals into the house
revealing a bed by a clock
and two children sleeping quiets as mouses
The illusions of the night
are gradually swept away
and truth meets the day's sight
two vampires freed from the day
One the lady searching to be free
revealed to be only eight years old
her name's Irene showing the key
a jade ring so bold
The five year old girl is shown
to be really twelve from a far away land
Fayeth is her name it is known
a member of a special vampire band
At noon they wake to the light
to get ready for their trip to Spain
their they will join a wagon train
for a trip into the night
