Death Of A Vampire (Visual Poetry)

[DATo]

Hoping to beg the administrator's indulgence I'd like to offer something unique to this forum.

I originally saw this video about five years ago and then, like the total idiot that I am, I forgot to bookmark the URL so it was lost to me. I've spent years trying to find it again. I have finally succeeded and I wanted to share it with those who possess a poetic understanding and who might appreciate it the way I did ... as a visual poem.

It is the story of a vampire who has been captured, bound, and sent upon the back of a horse into the desert to die when the sun rises. In the starkness of the desert there is nowhere to hide from the sunlight. The vampire knows she is doomed but faces death with courage, dignity and spirit.

The angel that watches has no patience left
Only sorrow for our wounds.
We are lost inside there
Running for a center we never find.
We are the hole in the earth that has swallowed us.
Curse me till I love again,
Or I will never love again.


I never thought I could ever feel pity or admiration for a vampire till now.

Interesting that she danced at the end.

I saw the movie "Life After Beth". It had an unusual end also.

I saw the dance as a gesture of defiance and, for want of better words, a sort of personalized danza macabre - a celebration of her own impending death.

I agree.

I just felt some sympathy for the dying vampire in that movie as well. The way the vampire in "Vamps" died was also nice.
