Moonlight Glows

I just have to look at the sky each time the moon shows a crescent form. And tonight is the night. As I was on my way home, I just stared at the dark sky and how amazing the moon could be! I'm in love with the moon especially the crescent moon. Whether it is a waxing or waning crescent, it is surely to be placed nicely up in the sky and lovely for the eyes to see.


Crescent moon is usually associated with vampires. Well, to my very own source of knowledge. I'd like to relate the crescent moon with vampires, simply because they're mysterious yet wicked. You got full moon for the werewolves, so why not make the crescent moon specially for these bloodsucking creatures. Imagine a night scene, in a garden perhaps? surrounded with vines of roses intertwine on the wrought iron arch, and they were a wicked pair of immortals, confessing their love to one another, their love is full of passion and lust until one was kindly offering a bite on the neck and the other one would suck the blood out, all for love while it was captured under the dark sky where the crescent moon was shining its luminous light from afar. Now, can you tell me how beautiful is that scene? Amazingly beautiful, I must say.

Talk about crescent moon, I could still recall about this one weird little event that my little sister and I once encountered. It happened about a few years ago and well, I was of course in the middle of my vampire storywriting season. Since Cinema Bizarre ( my fav. German band ) was like hot flaming pancakes at that time and we were so into them like too much! Me and Liena, my little sister's best friend has created a wicked storyline about vampires, witches and in between ( silver bloodlines ) and put our favourite CB as the male characters or heroes maybe?, in the story. And for one thing, crescent moon is the main symbol we used in 'Beautifully Tortured' ( temporary name of the story, not the official one yet..you see, how long it takes for us to actually complete one series of a long story, years I tell you! and yet, it is still hanging until now, the storyline is in our mind, we just don't have the time or even the magic sparks on writing it down. My advice, do not take a long hold on the story, it will sure be hanging forever! )

So yeah, on that very night, a strange night indeed is where it all happened. We did a little brainstorming on the day and left for a birthday dinner at night. We were so psyched of the story and started imagining all the way. Yeah, we are actually the main characters obviously. I have this crescent moon necklace pendant, thought of wearing that night but I've changed my mind eventually. The moon itself showed a crescent form and when we got to the restaurant, we ordered something that has the shape of a crescent moon too without us knowing anything about the menu there. The weird thing is, by the end of the nig
ht when I was changing to my sleeping attire, my litte sister just noticed that I wasn't wearing my crescent moon necklace pendant, when the whole time she thought I was actually wearing it and she saw with her own two eyes the pendant was hanging on my neck. One night with only that one moon, strange but true. From that moment on, we tried to avoid from wishing the story would come to life because if it do come, we'll be out of our minds! Crazy is the word. Writers can get carried away by their mind too easily. Gotta beware of that ;) and hey, becareful what you wish for!


I say, everything around you is an inspiration, just notice it, feel it and use it well. And trust me, crescent moon is a really good persona for vampires. So as, roses and vines. When you have all of these 3 so-called elements together in one, you'll sure make a desirably beautiful fantasy of vampires ;)
