*******
The hush of night gives way
to the rooster scratching,
waiting for the tepid light of sun rising,
too soon he will crow.
Wretched clock,
dragging time screaming into the light
when I am otherwise occupied with blood,
and need the hollow moments
of the night.
Ancient warnings foretold
that the light of God's day
would undo creatures such as me,
pulled away from earth to feed,
but here I am caught in the rays I see.
Curse the dawn!
Curse those who live in joy inside of day
their joy will be my death today.
Blinding, searing, staggering light
that nurtures other things,
shafts shooting down will consume my might.
A fire inside my mind burning, spreading blight
and, trying my best to fight,
I cannot resist the draw of the orb of light
illuminating
Sizzling hot!
No, this cannot be.
I am destined to live forever...
But, with the sighing of a breeze,
I am free, swept away by the wind.

Hey, extremely well written! Hope you get some points for this little beauty.

It seems a very dark and gloomy place. I guess the challenge was write the most haunting thing you could find.

'Wretched clock,

This just touches inside a mindset that I used to carry within.
No so much the 'occupied with blood' but more so 'need the hollow moments of the night'
