Moonlight on dark and misty ground where shadows moved without a sound,
She stood and watched, I knew her well, that creature spawned in darkest hell.
She reached from far beyond the grave, and knew the passion that I craved.
She held my life as if by spell, then smiled , she knew my torment well.
I knew I'd find no rest tonight.
It started very long ago, when bloodied footsteps marked the snow,
The first time that I saw her face, young of years and full of grace.
I saw her eyes, then came the blow, for in the night they seemed to glow,
And then I felt the shivers climb, as if in warning up my spine,
That's when my courage took to flight.
The winter wind now whipped her hair, and I could only stand and stare,
Those sensual lips made me despair, they whispered kiss me if you dare,
Now standing in that icy breeze and paralyzed from feet to knees,
I felt the passion of that kiss that dragged me to the dark abyss,
The fates now sealed this lost soul's plight
That kiss that robbed my very breath and took me to the brink of death,
And hands so soft that touched my skin, my soul I sold to know that sin.
Those lips then moved upon my throat, on wings divine I seemed to float,
Then voices whispered in my head, beware you join the living dead,
That's when my soul began to fight.
In my pocket a cross I kept to which my frozen fingers crept,
A gift of gentle mother's love, I prayed to every saint above,
And now it blazed upon the air, her eyes then shone with hatred's glare,
She backed away, I seemed to burn; she hissed "my love I will return".
The sky was kissed by dawn's first light.
Of late I feel so very strange, as if something my thoughts derange,
In mirror,on throat, the marks I see, I fight the lust I feel in me.
Now I pace my darkened room, as shadows call me from the gloom,
Tonight I'll throw the casement wide, unholy love will step inside
And wake my passion on this night.

Hmmmm!
16 syllable lines with interior rhymes. The last line of each stanza rhyming with all other last lines. The form is unique and used well. The poem is well metered and vivid. I have never seen a poem with that much hardware and that is why I can't give it a trophy. It is the best piece in the contest and was a true delight to read. Thanks for the awesome share.

Gheesh ...
I've never seen so many Gold trophies on one poem. (It is a hell of a poem, for sure.)
Congratulations.
-
I'm not generally a fan of rhyme but this one is quite good. Wow, I see you've won many trophies with this poem! Congrats!
I liked the part where he showed her the cross and she promised to return. Kinda reminds me of Bram Stroker's Dracula where Mina's fiance is tempted by female vampires at Dracula's castle.
Thanks for entering my contest!
Blessed Be,
~Evolet -

-
Awesome Write Great flow and rhyme Wow congrats on all the trophies too. Thanks for entering this into my contest. Good luck with it
-
Wow!
My god, I'm blown away. Its been a very very long time since I fond something that flowed as perfectly as that. This is way too good - brilliant is all that can be said
Never ♥
-
wow
Excellent story, rhyme and flow. It is no wonder it has won many trophies. It is well deserving of many accolades. This also speaks to anyone captured by the sin of lust and could be a metaphor for the freedom the savior brings. That is what vampires represent in literature: lust and why salvation from them is found in the "cross"
Again well done. This again is a fine example of why I put you on my favorites and why I enjoy reading your poetry. You are truly talented.
-
i really like the discriptions in this one. it tells a lot. good job!

This is genius.
This is why I like rhyme so much now.. because of such complex rhyme schemes.
Win or lose, this is very, very impressive.
-
Stunning poetry with fantastic imagery and flawless flow and rhyme. 'That kiss that robbed my very breath and took me to the brink of death', brilliantly worded. I love the sensuality of this piece. Thank you for the entry in my contest.
-
I am NOT one for Vamp writes BUT this is exquisite and flows so smoothe...it captivated and held me all the way to the end...awesome poem...and love the pic....Congrats on the Gold...!
-
Very tasteful indeed. I enjoyed the rhyme throughout this piece and the beautiful imagery used. Describing this temptress in such a beautiful way, how could someone so beautiful be so evil, kind of thing. I enjoyed this one very much, which is good, as fantasy isn't normally my thing [lucky dark is then, huh?].
-
Brilliant poetry! The rhyming flows very well. The whole poem makes the story come alive!
-
Well damn!
I'll have to say that this is probably my favorite vampire poem EVER.
I love your style. This piece flowed effortlessly. I read it aloud and felt seduced by the vampiric charms that flowed from each word.
Lovely.
I wish you well.
-
amazing
this is absolutely amazing my friend, congratulations on your silver trophy, the gold winner must have really been something, well done indeed,

Wow. How did you do it!?! How long did it take you? I'm very impressed.. Great job and good luck in the contest.
-
I see why you've won trophies with this. It's exceptional. They're are some lines that are outstanding to me, but each time I find one..another one crops up. I'd be cutting and pasting the whole poem LOL. Thank you for this entry.

"The winter wind now whipped her hair, and I could only stand and stare,
Those sensual lips made me despair, they whispered kiss me if you dare,
Now standing in that icy breeze and paralyzed from feet to knees,
I felt the passion of that kiss that dragged me to the dark abyss,
The fates now sealed this lost soul's plight" is my favorite part -

This reminds me of a cajun gal I used to date in the 70s north of New Orleans, named Ginger. A firebrand of a woman if there ever was. Eyes and hair dark as asphalt oozing from the ground on a moonless night and a smile which always besmerched lustfull pleasure. However, being as I never took note of any of this and uh...lie like the dog I am....LOL!.......errr..well....congrats on the bronze there gal!

I loved that movie. LOL but

I like those moments
harsh which dramatically shows
not only macabre intent
but blood which flows.

I love the internal rhyme in this piece - it really helped the flow of the poem overall. It reads very nicely and I found myself being dragged into the poem with your words and great imagery.

Hi Jinxgirl thanks a million, your name made me curious is there a story behind it? hugs Di
-
wow. this is just awesome, the words, the description, it's like a story, a play, i could see it all in my head. from all your applauds it's obvious everyone else loves it too. thanks for your great entry!
-
Hi my friend, thanks a million, my poems either come quickly aprox 20-30 mins on this length or I scrap them, most in 15-20 mins,with me it's that way,I'm a rhyme freak so they tell me,lol,but I do edit several times after posting,but to be truthful the ideas will run around in my head for a day or so,then I grab a pen and down it goes, hugs Di
-
Masterful rhyme. So often I see forced rhymes that make my teeth ache. But yours was a breath of fresh air. Though I can't help but wonder if it had taken you ages to do this?
Piper -
fantastic!
For something that is not your thing, you truly wrote an excellent, sensual, seductive, amazing piece of work. WOW. You definitely got the "master" part right in your name
-
i suppose you like anne rice also from the picture. awsome right! you really do deserve every one of those applauds up there..all 157 of them (158 including me if i counted right). jeez! lol. i agree with graveyard princess's comment about the flow of the poem sounding something like edgar allan poe's the raven. it really just pulls you in and forces you to keep reading. how many contest have you won with this? im curious lol. since i find you such a distiguished poet...(if i spelled that right lol), would you mind reading the poem i submitted for this contest? it would mean the world to me...even if you dont like it. good luck...im sure you will place something if not the gold. always keep writing. ive added you to my favorites but dont be too mad if i dont keep up with everything you write. im not on this site too often any more. just a heads up. *kat~~~
-
Hi, I'm happy you like this poem, thanks a million, hugs Di
-
Well, as from your applauds I guess I don't need to tell you that this piece was very well done. I loved how all the rhyming flowed together something akin to The Raven by the late great Edgar Allen Poe. I see now why you requested prewrites to be allowed. Good luck!!! This truly is a great write.
-
Hi,thanks a million, it was an experiment to write something about a subject that does not interest me,lol, vampires are not really my thing, you analised it very well, a big hug Di
