The First Coffee Shop Encounter

 

 

 

In a smoke filled room

With dim lights

And coffee beans roasting

I hear a voice

Calling out to me

Amongst the chatter

And clatter

 

It sound masculine and deep

With hypnotic tones

Floating within my mind

From a distance

That my brain

Can’t understand

 

Come to me

I await you

To join me

In the dark corner

At a table for two

 

The soft feathery words

Cascaded across my electrical waves

Pulling me in the strangers direction

Without a thought as to why

My feet seemed to glide across

The ceramic tile floor

With an ease that was eerie

And delightful

 

Who are you?

I thought

Not one word

Vocalized

I am ancient

I am seductive

I am as old as new rivers flowing

But you can call me Vlad

 

Vlad who?

My mind whispered

Across the room

To an unknown person

 

Oh I have forgotten

To you I am better known

As Dracula

A name handed down

From my father

  

Dracula could this be real?

Did someone spike my coffee

I thought

As I looked at the caramel liquid

 

Your coffee

Has not been tainted

This is no trick of the mind

I am real and alive

Longing for a companion

To be by my side

Wow I loved how this poem unfolded. For a moment I really forgot and did not realize this was a dracula story..... it was very romantic yet eerie when i found out it was about Vlad, or Dracula..... I loved how you gave this poem a great atmosphere out of the ordinary scene for a vampire story who would have thought you could meet up with the likes of him at a coffee shop lol....... great write!!!

..Spectacular. you were descriptive and I loved it I could actually vision all of this. You are a great writer and I definitely look forward to reading more of your work.

classic damsel in distress and hero complex playing out here
one feeds off of each other - you've painted it perfectly and in the most unexpected places...a coffee shop.

[Time.]

Amazing write! It takes you to the coffee shop with the aroma of coffee rising about. :))

[Allen Smuckler]

This was such a well written tale....felt more like a short story...though read like a poem...I loved reading this mystifying story in its unusual though appropriate locale...where better to encounter a vampire than your local cafe...met a few there in my life as well...
very entertaining read, PB

Great description, I could
almost smell the coffee as
well as the eeriness...

love this narrative poem..you captured a story quickly but still maintained a constant flow of exquisite ideas..

[Magdelena]

Whoa!! I was mesmerized by this.. At first i thought of a chance meeting, then went on to think of a man that caught your eye, but it seems his words made me peer into the scene further and gasp, Dracula! Oh please say you are adding to this! It was fantastic!!!! Really enjoyed this... I see many more chapters coming from this story-poem..

Wow, this is really great. Very seductive and filled with temptation. Who could resist the call of a Dracula?
