Alley Guardian

Alley Guardian


a statue perched on this alley wall,
watching an elderly woman walk,

she counts money from bingo she won,
as she returns to her home alone,

she thinks of what she will by him,
her grandson of only six years,

his birthday approaches soon,
lost in thought she is,

I'm Ashlyn a vampyre of 200 years,
guarding this world form evil,

I forgot how fragile mortals are,
as I watch this lady talking,

both of us lost in thoughts,
so we don't see the danger,

she gets knocked to the ground,
a mugger flees with ther cash,

soft as a feather I land,
silently persuing him,

he turns the corner opening the purse,
laughing he runs his hand in the cash,

as silent as a mouse I approach,
he never saw the teeth,

it was easy to hold him steady,
being as strong as several men,

after me feast I return to her,
in her mind she sees a deputy,

I explained that the mugger is gone,
and escort her back to her home,

tomorrow the body will be found,
hanging by the police station,

with a pocket full of credit cards,
the cash and his blood both are mine,
