Traveler

I walk along this shadow path.
Upon these street of rock and gravel,
To where my destiny may lie.

Night has long past fallen,
Street lights flicker
And a stray cat may jump upon trash cans, creating such strange racket.
I am unaware of such things though,
For I know them all to well.

My steps keep in time with my heart.
One beat following another
At a pace that greets my own.

Where I go
I am uncertain.

I started when I knew what I was not
A journey of growth you may call this,
For it is here on these streets
That my life began.

A Child was I once,
An innocent among others
Simple and plain.

But then I met the darkness
And my heart grew cold.

So now alone I must go.
To fight my demons
of night and day.

To live with a pain
of the hungry inside.

For you see,
what life I once lived
Was lost to theses streets

When I was bit by darkness
And became the vampire
That am I.

I'm in love with this. In my mind I can picture this shadow, this mysterious wraith moving silently in the night on a journey that must be traveled alone. Surrounded by darknes and chained to it by the very nature of what it has become... Touching and seriously cool. Awesome!

So now alone I must go.
To fight my demons
of night and day.

To live with a pain
of the hungry inside.

For you see,
what life I once lived
Was lost to theses streets

I loved it. Truely wonderful and deep. I especially liked that part. Great poem.

A Child was I once,
An innocent among others
Simple and plain.

But then I met the darkness
And my heat grew cold.

So now alone I must go.
To fight my demons
of night and day.

Very deep and the way your playing with words is beautiful.
I especially love that part we have to keep on fighting, never give up.

Yeah, I really sort of relate to that poem... It's very deep and meaningful. There's nothing else I can say that wouldn't be repeating what everyone else has said, your poem is all of the above.

Just like ye said soldier...Nothing can be said other than the repeated words. It reminded me of Heero until the part about hungry...
Nevermind, just me rambling ...

Great job C.G.!!!
