Deep Persuasion
From whence comes forth the melody
Whispering love to piercing eyes
Dreams sprinkled with Stardust
Are hidden in her sighs.

He yearns to hear the winsome song
Amidst the bittersweet refrain
But furrowed scorn upon his brow
Recalls ashes in the rain.

Come closer, bids persuasion
Turn not from tender woes
These anguished depths of yearning
Will move the tempered soul.
а
Magnificent the union
Of hearts in deep embrace
The bonding of two souls
Which time cannot ease.

Chapter One
"I'm looking for the vampire."
Alexander Claybourne stared down at the young girl standing on his front porch. She was a cute little thing, maybe nine years old, with curly blonde hair, brown eyes, and a sprinkling of freckles across the bridge of her nose.
"Excuse me," he said, "but did I hear you right?"
"I need to see the vampire," the girl said impatiently. "The one who lives here."
Alexander fought the urge to laugh. "Who told you a vampire lives here?"
The girl looked up at him as if he were slow-witted. "Everyone knows a vampire lives here."
"I see. And why do you want him?"
"My sister, Kara, is in the hospital. She was in a car accident." The girl sniffed noisily. "Nana says she's going to die."
Alexander frowned as he tried to follow the child's line of reasoning.

"Ah," Alexander exclaimed, comprehending at last.
