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!!!

Eerie and captivating. I enjoyed the description of dracula who is very much there without being so. Your words blend the usual charm and mystery related to this character. Wonderful poem.

Can I have a cup of whatever she's drinking???.. with my current struggle, dealing with writer's block, I could sure use a cup...

Well done!

Nicely developed, and a little spooky too! I think there might be a "my" left out of the last line, too - very minor typo. Enjoyed this!
