Hollywood Vampyres~

Here we are
Before the sunrise
Dangerous games
In an eternity’s eye

Cold veins
We are like the wind
You can’t touch us
But we can touch you

Cat and mouse
You are blind prey
You can’t see us
But we can see you

Jumping off
Hillside letters
Tall
HOLLYWOODLAND
You Couldn’t remember
We’ll never forget

1923
Porcelain skin purity
Pearl necklaces
Long
Thin
Necks

Jazz
Crazy antics
It was beautiful
We were free

We are vampyres
Elegant
Once of royal blood

She danced the Charleston
Fueled by bathtub martinis
Cocaine
A true hedonist

She laughed
She glittered
She was Venus on earth
Beauty
Beyond mortal comprehension
She was Alive

Silver screen dreams
Brought choice
Starry-eyed innocence
To us in droves

Parties
Marquis
Tinsel Town reflections
Sound stage
Backstage
There was no shortage
Of our feasts

Orange fields
Paved with gold
Offerings
To the Gods

In mansions
On steep slopes
Overlooking Sunset Blvd.
Exclusive parties
Echoed through the nights
Frivolous
Unaware

This was Our time
We were the Gods
They knew our names
Drawn
To our spectral pastimes
Both
Unaware
And without a care

Ready to make sacrifice
Embrace our decadence
Lose themselves
In our embrace

Some
Joined our eternal guild
Paramores
Muse
Intellectual equals

Others
Lasted most of the night
Then
Would disappear
As fast as they appeared
Lost
Forgotten
In time

Unwanted

But
For a few short hours
They experienced sheer delight
Pure Bliss
Total escape

They were gifted
What they truly wanted inside

To BE Something
Other than mundane
To matter
To SHINE
To attain, their dreams

Intoxicated
Heddie

To succumb to the rites

Innocent vessels

Upon their release

Now

At peace

Forevermore…..
