The Darkangel by Meredith Ann Pierce

The Darkangel, a vampire of astounding beauty and youth, can only summon his full power when he finds his 14th and final bride. But for Aeriel, whom he kidnaps to serve his brides, there is something about him–something beyond his obvious evil–that makes her want to save him rather than destroy him. The Darkangel–Pierce’s first book, originally released in 1982–was an ALA Best Book for Young Adults, a New York Times Notable Children’s Book, a Parent’s Choice Award Superbook, and a Booklist Best Book of the Decade.

My Thoughts

This was the first vampire novel I had ever read.  it’s the first one in a trilogy. all three of them are great reads.

my response is :

small doses of kindness
is simply a way to show
the world there is love
still in your heart .

treat others as you
would want to be
treated.

that is the best
way for anyone
to live.

My response is :

faeries are born
from the laughter
of newborn babies,
or so we are told.

but I believe that
Banshee are made
from forgotten hugs
when loved ones pass.

My response is :

when I thought  
I had forgotten
how to fly,
and it hurt so much
all I could do is cry...

when I realized the wing
was broken and laying loosely
I determined that i must
fly anyways.

my response is :

memories from long forgotten places,
I find myself watching it from a distance
as though I am stuck in a repetitive
dream without any way out.

drifting into something resembling
an active dream of poetry
and possibility

my response is :

when trying to describe
who I am and who I am not
the ink is limited.

there is no clarity
in the darkness
of the ink pot,
even as it empties.
