Popular 2013 Day 4~ Vampires~ The Lost Boys

Getting back to vampires in film, I must admit to absolutely loving 1987 The Lost Boys! I first saw it in the theater as a teen. It was filmed in Santa Cruz,California, much of it at the beach boardwalk...a place I knew well :)Not to mention sexy vampires and great tunes...I soon had a Lost Boys poster on my wall :p It stars Keifer Sutherland,Jamie Gertz, Jason Patric and more...is based on a gang of small town vampires who have taken over. The Frog brothers (Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander) are sort of the local vampire experts and add a bit of comedy.

Popular 2013 more vampy poetry....

There is ALOT of  vampire poetry old and new...I will just post a few...this one by Lord Byron an exerp from his poem The Giaour 1813

. . . Unquenched, unquenchable, Around, within, thy heart shall dwell; Nor ear can hear nor tongue can tell The tortures of that inward hell! But first, on earth as vampire sent, Thy corse shall from its tomb be rent: Then ghastly haunt thy native place, And suck the blood of all thy race; There from thy daughter, sister, wife, At midnight drain the stream of life; Yet loathe the banquet which perforce Must feed thy livid living corse: Thy victims ere they yet expire Shall know the demon for their sire, As cursing thee, thou cursing them, Thy flowers are withered on the stem. But one that for thy crime must fall, The youngest, most beloved of all, Shall bless thee with a father's name — That word shall wrap thy heart in flame! Yet must thou end thy task, and mark Her cheek's last tinge, her eye's last spark, And the last glassy glance must view Which freezes o'er its lifeless blue; Then with unhallowed hand shalt tear The tresses of her yellow hair, Of which in life a lock when shorn Affection's fondest pledge was worn, But now is borne away by thee, Memorial of thine agony!

Fallen Angel - Rahab The angel of the deep (One-Vox)

 Rahab The angel of the deep (One-Vox)

"Fallen from grace, once the angel of death, now he is little more than a banished soul chained to the depths of the ocean.
He is a tortured soul indeed. Unfavored, unloved, unwanted and but still the faithful lamb.
Lost to the light of day and the kingdom of Adam, he is still the master of the abyss and must be respected.

-A Prayer to Rahab, Angel of the Deep"

Popular 2013 Tears, Idle Tears a poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson

Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean, Tears from the depth of some divine despair Rise in the heart, and gather to the eyes, In looking on the happy Autumn-fields, And thinking of the days that are no more. Fresh as the first beam glittering on a sail, That brings our friends up from the underworld, Sad as the last which reddens over one That sinks with all we love below the verge; So sad, so fresh, the days that are no more. Ah, sad and strange as in dark summer dawns The earliest pipe of half-awakened birds To dying ears, when unto dying eyes The casement slowly grows a glimmering square; So sad, so strange, the days that are no more. Dear as remembered kisses after death, And sweet as those by hopeless fancy feigned On lips that are for others; deep as love, Deep as first love, and wild with all regret; O Death in Life, the days that are no more!

Popular 2013 On Mermaids...William Shakespeare

OBERON:

My gentle Puck, come hither.
Thou rememberest since
Once I sat upon a promontory,
And heard a mermaid on a dolphin's back
Uttering such dulcet and harmonious breath
That the rude sea grew civil at her song,
And certain stars shot madly from their spheres,
To hear the sea-maid's music?

From.....A Midsummer Night's Dream 

ANTIPHOLUS OF SYRACUSE:

O, train me not, sweet mermaid, with thy note,
To drown me in thy sister's flood of tears.
Sing, siren, for thyself, and I will dote;
Spread o'er the silver waves thy golden hairs,
And as a bed I'll take them and there lie,
And in that glorious supposition think
He gains by death that hath such means to die;
Let Love, being light, be drowned if she sink!

From...Comedy of Errors
