Entrancing Pull

Watching from afar, observing feline eyes

The kind that pierce through the darkest of realms

Finding him wandering paths of dismal forestry

Lost in the decay of emotional turmoil

Raising his head, gazing in my direction

Penetrating my soul, freezing my breath

Smiling in a way that would greet a friend

Motioning me forward to join in his trudge

Slowly floating in the direction he occupies

With racing heart and mind entranced

Hypnotized by motives lingering in his heart

Curious of surroundings that seem to elude him

Fingers entwine mine with an encouraging tug

Eager to lead upon cobblestone devastation

Pulses of longing vibrate on my flesh

As I abide to the pull of his leading to nowhere

Frostbitten branches graze through his hair

Painted with blackness, shining like demon blood

Flying in the wind as it whispers in his ear

Guiding me to hellacious places unknown

Frightened at the lack of resistance, my lack of control

Allowing this stranger to kidnap independance

The force that drives me through the light living within

But shadows engulf me as he captures my morals

Loveless intentions forsaking me, deserting me

Leaving heels over head at the allure of this incubus

Carrying my spirit to a side of immortality

The sector of sleepless nights and bloodshed calamity

and this is why i NEVER let my guard down lest I be someone's lunch. Or midnite snack. A fine spooky poem but the truth is, this happens in real life, its just more subtle. We get overtaken, sucked in, trapped. Well penned.

lol. thank you so much. this was intentionally a piece about just an ordinary predator, but somehow my brain spun it into a vampire story.

There are many aspects to love ... we could understand better. As an instrument of the heart it lends itself to many shades of emotions ... that entrance us while they also sow the seeds of suspicion and doubt. Taking a little time to think things over ... is always a great help. Its like counting up to ten ... before making a decision. Otherwise ... a person will have to get a raft ... for that trip downriver. Nice ...

When I was a kid and watched vampire movies I could never figure out why the woman would be unable to resist the creature. I still don't but, you express it well here.
