I see things in many strange forms as I sleep?
I see cities in rubble and the next second I
See them perfect? I see my love Alyona laid on
A cross made of gold. I think I might be going mad?
Maybe it was the blood I drank from the Gypsy ?
The visions continue, I see a dark stranger hidden in
The corner of a room. I strain to look closer but only
Move further away? I stir a little in my sleep but I’m in
To deep of a sleep to wake. My dream gets stranger!
I see what looks like a set of head lights coming
Over a hill? I look again and its my love Alyona
Eyes as bright as the sun! I shield my face in fear
That I might burn! Your eyes soften and your lips
Appear out of the fog. Fear not my love comes from
Those soft eyes, you tell me it is time to move from
This place. I wonder what in the world she is talking
About? I start to ask why… but I am cut short by
A scream so loud that it did wake me.
I jumped hard enough to hit my head on the
Coffin lid! I said ouch to myself and wondered
What that was all about? I opened the lid to my coffin
Slowly expecting Alyona to be standing in the
Dark near by? I was alone and the house was
Eerily quite. I stood in the dark trying to get
My bearings straight and then it hit me!
I ran up the stairs that were covered in marble
And caught one of the hand rails made of alabaster.
I called to Alyona several time but to no avail ?
My sight was clear now and the dark
Was no more. My eyes had become used to it now.
I walked slow along the hall padded by Persian
Rugs, I lit all the sconces on the wall with
Just a blink of an eye. Fear had set in and I was now
Running down the cherry wood halls to her room!
I busted open the door and felt my love near by.
My heart slowed and I walked up to her bed.
Her room had black out curtains so there was no
Need for a coffin. Her bed had sheets of silk and
A comforter mad of red velvet, I fell to my knees at
Her bed side and wept for what must have been the
First time since I became one of the dark ones?
Alyona woke in a fright and asked “Who’s there?”
Its me my love and with relief on her breath she
Asked “ What’s wrong my love? Why are there
Tears in your eyes? “
You my love have stepped into my dreams and
I cannot find a reason for the things I’ve seen?
She sat up and put my head upon her chest and
Softly stroked my hair. Its true my love I wield the
Power to come to you in your dreams, but I slept
Soundly tonight and veered only to those I keep
In this house to check that there was safety among
Them and not once did I trespass into your thought or dreams.
I looked at her as if she were playing a game? Surly you jest?
No my love she said with honesty in her words! Then I must be going crazy!?!
She smiled and kissed me on the forehead . What was the dream about my love?
What has you so shook up? I thought for a moment and wondered
If it was safe to speak of such nonsense?
Then I began to tell her everything, even the part about the head lights that
Turned out to be her eyes. You have quite the imagination my love.
She asked if she had told me anything in my dream?
I thought for a moment… and remembered one thing.
You told me that my time here was over? And that it was time
To move on?
I would never tell you to move on my love Alyona whispered
In my ear. You are my chosen one and we will spend many years
Together in this house. I thought of another thing that you had told
Me… London draws near and a child awaits… Alyona was just as
Puzzled as I was? Perhaps we should go to your home and tempt fate?
It was just a dream I told her and nothing to worry about I’m sure?
All the same Alyona told me, I grow weary of this place! I have been here at
Least a thousand years and would like a little change in the scenery.
I thought about it for a little while and with a smile on my
Face told her OK I am kind of homesick and I’m sure you would
Love London this time of year?
We raised from our keep and smiled at fate, made all the arrangements
And off to the train we went…
