DE NOX PORTAE

"Alien, I am, the elegant deathless stance of the Vampyric soul coursing
within the veins and arteries of human flesh...what manner of journey is this?
I bow gracefully to my kind in acknowledgement. I seek you out in my solitary
haunts. I hear the blood coursing through your veins like the low powerful
drone of an ancient galaxy...serenading herbeloved ones afar....

I move deeply into my Vampyric Essence which empowers me beyond mortal
comprehension, in ways deep and mysterious, that I may move through the
density of this world unscathed by the heartbreaking lack of livingness and
passion for Being that is deemed "acceptable"...I summon up from my Gothic
soul the inherent tools of my race. I use them, I work them, I emanate their
nature and essence, to defend or protect when the unassuming "numb" mortals
seek to foist their ignorance upon me or my own....

Where is there a place on earth for the Vampyric soul to unfold its wings and
scale the darkened night, the bread of its life, to which it is accustomed?
For great is the fear invoked by the many faces I bear, yet powerful the
allure nonetheless!

Those who ARE, KNOW....Those who ARE, understand, and indeed luxuriate in the
true fullness of the Vampyric Essence beyond the masks and roles played out in 
the movie theatres of earth. A Race with the ability to house and clothe the
immortal song of life in multi-faceted brilliance and genius...who can wea the 
masks and clothing of worlds to move in invisibility if need be...

It is this that empowers my vigilant watch upon a wretched mankind...He is
horrified that I might take his pitiful life, when despite him, I swoop down
to offer it!"
