Sanctuary

it is here that he remembers
his young life has been so long
the every day battles to defend the castle of vampireland from demonic onslaughts
venturing naked to haunt the murky streets of remembrance ...
the living and the dead
and the undead
the angel who doted over him
so recently and so very very long ago

the forrest is gone now
bulldozed into a lake in a last ditch effort by the drakula's family desperate attempt to put up a defense
the drakula family is gone now
succumbing to the demons and witches
succumbing to their own greed for vengeance

chanced across spartans, sparta and finally evil
and those warriors
those paragons of independence
those friends
those brothers and sisters
and he fell in love and he fell in love and he fell in love
and as his dominance grew so did his wisdom
and he understood what was important
he understood himself for what he was
and his family grew
and it crumbled
and it grew again

he understood himself for what he was
a reaction
a force of nature without thought
instinct
