Ode to the Dark and Lonely

The sun is obnoxious to creatures like me

We feed from the darkness

Not from plants, not from trees

Only in shadows is where we feel free

With goblins and ghouls

Not with Angels and priests

Rain, not shine, is what brings us glee

Black clouds in the sky

As dark as can be

Blinding nights makes it harder to see

Like the dead in their coffins

That’s where we find peace
