I was really into this show, "Forever Knight" at this time. I watched it religiously. Maybe some of you remember it. They still show it on the SciFi channel or something. I had an awful crush on the actor who played Nick Knight, the main character. He was a vampire/policeman, if you can believe it. He looked a little like Neil Patrick Harris who played Doogie Hauser. Anyway, I saw this one episode that prompted me to write this prose. Take it for what it's worth.
February 2, 1993

He came from darkness and somehow saved my lfe.
Though in the process he was hurt badly.
I helped him to heal but he shunned me,
And I felt his cold touch on my cheek and neck.
Filled with terror, he was, and always mysterious.
He constantly told me to stay away; take great care.
Over time he softened and grew close to me.
But only in small pieces and with steps backward as well.

As a friend and a brother I have always thought of him.
Since that night when death whispered around my head.
I saw other men and he was always waiting up.
The figure of a father worried about his girl.
Fate would have it that I would find a bad seed,
But one whose looks were so beautiful and strong.
I fell for him and he fell on me.
But somehow he was able to aid me again.
I played it off; such a cool and collected me.
But he saw through it and held me when I cried.
"Did you realize how worried I was?"
"Somehow I did." I said as I looked in his eyes.
There I saw the flame and blackness of the first night.
There was a passion there, too, never before seen.
He held me and kissed me as I wanted him to.
A cold hand caressed my neck and chest.
And we united finally in our love of light and darkness.
