Talia Eternal (Free verse) by Enkidu

Of late her temper, Flaring alike to mortal rage Is slaked by birds of down Which flutter beside her And give brief comfort The cobalt shadows cast Talia in the palest light While she disapproves the daring, Wild dance of sunny morning About her person Alone She stands alone Her eyes closed to A swift and swollen reality Robbed painfully of darkness Alas! Talia Vampiress no more

Slake is a wonderful word to use because it describes how her temper was moderated. Secondly, "about her person" effectively illustrates that she is not yet being harmed by the sun's rays. They are not, in fact, touching her true body.

Of course this only makes sense to a vampire! She IS one!
If you can't understand that, then read the poem you dolt.
