The Vampyre



His grey eyes burned with an incandescence
And the long white hands that hung by his sides
Were not those of a human being
I think I knew everything
In that instant
And all that he told me was only aftermath
The moment that I saw him
Saw his extraordinary aura
And knew him to be no creature I'd ever known
I was reduced to nothing
That ego which could not accept the presence
Of an extraordinary human being in it's mist
Was crushed
All my conceptions
Even my guilt and wish to die
Seemed utterly unimportant
I completely forgot myself
I forgot myself totally
And in the same instant
Knew totally the meaning of possibility
From then on I experienced only increasing wonder
As he talked to me
Told me of what I might become
Of what his life had been
And stood to be
My past shrank
To embers
