Vampire ( Enstylic I )

First of a 3-part series. Was a stand-alone, until I wrote pt2.

I remember the sky blue
and sunlight surrounding me
Up through moonbeams I now fly
Gliding on leather wings
Yet, I remember the sun
and day's moving shadows
now like a distant childhood dream
dust and hollow whispers
Up to the starlight I glide
The night surrounding me
Bright as sunlight to me
I have forgotten the art of life
Buried under blood-stained memory
Buried under cold soil
Shrouds of darkness surround me eternally
Wind strains my leather wings
Reaching for the moon
Reaching out for what I will never touch
    ...life
I used to be alive, but I can't remember...
