Written for my friend Sandy and her enduring love of all that is vampiric.

In the night
His eyes of blue
Sparkle like waterdrops
There was no fright
As he flew
Over the distant rooftops

Down below the rooftops
Over which he flew
Dissipated fright
That dripped like waterdrops
In the navy blue
Of the darkest night

I am captured by the blue
And drink in waterdrops
Cleansed of aura fright
Cleansed in the air as he flew
Dancing o'er the rooftops
Through this deepened night

He was lonely in the night
Alone, his haunted rooftops
Slinking in the blue
Over gaps between houses he flew
Between the rain's waterdrops
Trailing light gave him fright

I was hidden in the blue
Hiding on the rooftops
To watch him as he flew
The moonlight struk like waterdrops
Welcome was the night
Long gone was the fright

I sensed his mounting fright
Comes the dawn's light blue
Away to dark he flew
Chasing the last of night
The wetted rooftops
Shedding the last of waterdrops
