Author's note
This year (2007), the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is celebrating its 100th anniversary. Tonight, there will be a very special screening of The Lost Boys on the beach in front of the Boardwalk. I would have loved to be there and see it, but it's not possible. So, I wrote this poem. It is my way to be a part of that celebration.

You can read HERE the reviews that have been posted for this story on several other websites. This site doesn't have (yet) any system that allows the reader to leave me a comment, unfortunately. So I'm certain that the amount of reviews (and so the read count) would have been bigger if people could review direclty on my site. I want to thank you all for taking the time to read and review. Anyway, if you want to leave me a review, you can contact me.
Eternal
1987
I was eighteen, I was young.
But I won’t say I was wrong
To fall in love with vampires
When David set me on fire.
I could have been one of them.
And have embraced the darkness
Instead of being frightened
I wanted to get bitten
2007
Twenty years more, I’m not young.
But I’m sure I’m still not wrong
To keep David in my head
Coz darkness has now its part
In my veins and in my heart.
Hundredth anniversary
Of Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk
My reason to be happy
Is that the boys are for me
A delicious memory.
Outdoor screening on the beach
I would love to see that show
But I’m certain that somehow,
It’s a place I will once reach.
2037
Fifty years more, I’ll be old.
But you know, I have been told
That I’ll still love that vampire,
That he’ll still set me on fire.
All my heart could ever feel
is my love for the unreal.
And this love will never die.
Sleep all day, party all night.
