Evil~He Waits`

A familiar darkness beckons to me
casting a deep evil spell 'pon my soul
yet,calm am I~tis my dim fate you see
I am compelled toward him,therefore i go

Luring me forth from blurring midnight dreams
in a sleepwalk trance~i follow his path
he waits in dark shadows with wicked schemes,
hungry-eyed look, with Satan's sin of death

This sullen  prince! of hell's dark light 
has control,'Alas,destiny wields, cause
'I have been before with this devil of the night'
whence, I have danced upon wicked wind's pause

I tell this tale by midnight's pale moonlight
for I know well this devil~he waits in the night

"This sullen prince! of hell's dark light has control,'Alas,destiny wields, cause
'I have been before with this devil of the night' whence, I have danced upon wicked wind's pause"....Fran! You have such a vivid imagination!~~I was lured into the dark passion of this, and the dark longing!!~~~Excellent writing!!

This sounds like once bitten but not twice shy. lol. Are vampires lurking about? I loved that sinister feel of this and the shortened length added a since of intensity to it. lines 3 and 4 are wonderful as well as the last two. Great read.

Interesting and frightening write - great description. It just seems to end rather abruptly otherwise a great read. Thank you for sharing.

the poem brings forth an image of evil, but she seems fascinated by him.
a love hate relationship that she can not resist. It is very good!!

"whence, I have danced upon wicked wind's pause" What a fantastic line in a poem that is profoundly eerie and haunting. Fran, it's a good thing I am not going to sleep anytime soon. The stuff nightmares are made of! Incredible poetry! Lydia
