"And you, their best Beloved One, are now to me, flesh of my flesh, blood of my blood, kin of my kin. My bountiful wine press...."
-- Bram Stoker, Dracula
Seven days of Grace passed from our first meeting. Our physical bodies spent hours gravitationally orbiting one another's Presence, in slow motion, evoking the "Unspeakable"1, in adoration and profound contemplation. Sigh!...thee...Other. The house barely held us. He was instantly family and familiar, a soul brother nobly bearing up under the same fated, mysterious circumstances, portending Light and Darkness. My Savior? I'd travelled a long, lonely road up until now, for a skeletal stranger to point the Way.
A charmed force of atomic proportions rose between us, quarked freaks of Nature, irresistibly drawn like gypsy moths to a candelabra flame. Consummate the "Burning Ring of Fire"2....Eat our Mutual Death. Long Life to the New Flesh!
We came together as VALIS 3, sucking and seed-swapping on the 69th parallel. Naked and exposed in quicksand vermillion fields, an exacting silence presided over the recombining of our DNA. "Out of the Blue"4 , my sweet Lord whispers an exalting Revelation, "I am Vampyr". My heart murmurs an exhilarating miss of the beat; bliss, the lifting of imperceptible wings, the baring of sharpened teeth, the sinking of a smile.....
Spoken so matter of Providence, I did not feel the fright come 'til days later, on a rare instance we were unlinked by head or hip. In a brief foray of solitude, I occasioned 'twere a chilling prospect to fall in love with a Vampire, for there was no doubt in my mind, his words were the undoing of True Prophecy. Having quietly endured for centuries, the Mystical-Signs-of-No-Denying were now manifesting......
Comet Halle-Bopp
It Takes One to Know One......to Become One Again.

Constellations of fortune beatified in Heaven over the days and nights to follow. A celestial comet unraveled, strewing its brilliance across the space / time continuum, with tales of our resurrected Love.....for as I first sought to deny as inherent complicity, it became evident, I, too, was cursed! Possessed! with a heritage and ancestry long-divined from bloodlines of the Nosferatu, the Bohemian Count de Saint-Germain, of Transylvania. Telltale cheekbones and pallor, my friend, and those quixotic Signs....(a pallid hue escapes me, however, ever-rosy from drinking green blood). Aaaahhhhhaaaa. Undead. Having died and risen in succession, by powers commanding one's light body to instantaneously reintegrate. Outwitting Death (by becoming Its dissolution) endows one with an alchemist's "Lust for Life"5. To share is to split asunder, in other words, we suck-seed, with the order reversed. The old saying bleeds true :
It Takes One to Know One......to Become One Again.
