The saga of Dracula continues:
A Life In Size by Michael Doyle In the dark castle hangs her face A painting of the sunlight he once embraced Hidden within were passages of a maze Guarded from the sun that continues to blaze In his quest to find safety where there is none All the hidden secrets that come undone He finds where all the languages taste the same The infernal hunger is to blame Faith is touching but will not save Reads the cryptic writings in the cave A loveless marriage keeps roof overhead For some to whom love and belief are dead The gift of blood becomes gift of sight It's all the same to creatures of the night To see how these work, things are broken The imperfect devil speaks in words unspoken Death comes as a shock to mortality Those who live as they won't meet fatality The monsters inside take away everything That hope and belief attempt to bring The vampire professes to all he meets That we are after all what we eat Seeking the one thing that he'll never know The warmth and sight of the sun's glow Artists and poets have sung of her Hanging in the sky, elusive for those calling Lucifer Who takes on himself darkness forsaking light All for the sake of immortality's sight An ending is actually has its hidden blessing The kind of a thing that won't leave you guessing Death provides life's fit for all its size Though this truth is best seen through immortal eyes When evil at last is seen as the good Perhaps it becomes time to be best understood That despite the horrid pain or however gory There comes a time to end even the best story (c) April 26, 2020 Michael Doyle All Rights Reserved
