What be the children of Mannor Mourne?
Mesmerizing hypnotic eyes gaze
Creatures that thrive on blood for false life
Naught but hunters stalking prey
Where be the cots which in they do sleep?
Dank decayed with scent of blood
Tombs decrepit dark desecrated places
Where mortals do fear to tread
What do they dream from daybreak to sun fall?
Of coming forth to ravage and feast
Corrupted innocents, souls to darkness lost
Blood hunger turns babes into beasts
Where forth shall their true rest come from,
ending curse'ed eternal half life?
Release shall come from my own hand.
Death's a mercy for children of the night

About this poem:
Another Song/poem from the Quill of My Fantasy Bard Allwyn Marcher.
This one needs a little explanation.
Mannor Mourne is an ancient castle Perched high in the Spires, (A range of mountains), It was Once a happy place , The lord and Lady of Mourne were Kind generous folk. Defenders of that is right and wholesome the enemy of all that is evil, They even opened up their castle to the Orphans of the Isle Of Arelith,
They fell to a Daemonic curse and all in the castle became vampires, even the children.
This Song/Poem was written by Allwyn after he joined a group who went there to cleanse the castle of it's evil. Quite a few of the party he went with Fell prey to the Child Vampires Because they stayed their hands in killing them.
With this song/Poem Allwyn hoped that any others who went there would see that putting and end to the Vampire Children would in the end be a blessing to to them , for in final death they would be free of the terrible curse
It's not all taverns and love songs for a Fantasy Bard

I love openly with my heart,
like a gushing river free and unbound ...
But this is not a dance I can do alone ...
I hear it say from deep within
with a sad sigh and muted moan ...
Surely, I was not born to give so much ,
only to end up with a lonely empty space beside me ...
Surely, not only in books and movies
exists such ...
I still believe it is so ... and to be ....
Upon reading Viggo Mortensen's words
about living with his longtime partner in Spain ...
(" I feel happy living there , because she's the woman
I love. I am totally hers and I'm delighted.")
I realize such unashamedly romantic,
intensely devoted men still exist ...
With nothing but everything to gain,
to live with your chosen love
and find it utmost fulfilling,
not, therefore, in this lifetime,
impossible to attain ....
What more can a loving woman
desire to hold in her heart beating...
No other than exactly words from a man
such as these ....
to turn into warming sun ....
the seemingly relentless rain ....
And never more to wrestle
with such musings and questions
now nor ever again ...

So you take a walk in contemplation, then you see that flower, and wonder at Gods creation, and it opens your mind, and you find, wondrous beauty all around, it was just you were too busy to see, its all for you, its all for me, and open minds lead to treasure finds, its just like a,b,c, once you see,,, you are free.

Change begins with understanding, not to be afraid OF, and as life goes on, and things change, its LOVE, that keeps us together, when the unexpected happens and life becomes something new, we can walk down this road TOGETHER, IF we lOVE, its forever!
It's only new for today, then suddenly it's yesterday, and today is all we can see, but tomorrow, well, tomorrow is as real as it will be..

What a wreck of a week
If only I hadn’t taken a peek
The ground beneath me feet
Noting but sleet
You sniffed me around
like a hound
following me around
I tried to run
You knocked me down
dragged me through the mud
Twisted me around
looked me in the eye
Said today you won’t die
you wanted my soul
I never felt so cold
I would never give my soul to you
Truth be told
You’re nothing but
A dirty old troll

This crazy world spinning around
All the time circling the sun
Then like a rainbow there you are
Your face shining like a constellation of stars
Sharing your face with mine
Strangers living in even stranger times
Each with our own burning desires
Fueling our hopes and dreams
Falls like the rain something called magic
Desert dust sprinkled by rain dancers
On top of all the little clouds pirouetting
Filling our minds and hearts overflowing
With an irresistible desire for each other
With undying devotion till our parting ways
Oh Valentine.!!!

And the past is gone, confined to history,we live for today its as far as we can see, but, history has a story to tell, it shows the future, it shows it well, because everything goes around and around, well, at least thats what I've found, so history is a part of who we are, where we go, how far!,,,, if you want to see tomorow, look back into the past, you won't be the first, and you won't be the last.

Life changes you from the start, it opens your mind and closes your heart, you start out with love, innocent and true, then life, slowly eradicates you, you become aware, of whats right and what's fair, you want to be there,and you really care, then, you get confused, when you have been used, so now you retract, its the ultimate act, it leaves you lost,, life is not free, it has a cost, so, now do you see?. ,, no one loves you more than me.

I like the bus shelter man
he's out in the spring sun
reading the racing form
on racing carnival day
"Dad's Boy for mine,
he'll run like the wind today,
then I'll bring daffodils home for the wife,
and even the dog
will be pleased to see me" he says
"Victory is assured!" says I
and he grins at his new found friend
slaps me on the shoulder
"it's you and me against the world kid" he says
then the bus took him away
