Dinner At Eight

Vampire Contest

A gentleman of the night hidden by shadows of light, fog shrouding his path.......

Planning a light supper at eight.

She was a soft skinned beauty attracted to the night, walking between the flashes of light. Avoiding shadows near dark. Must not be late, dinners at eight.

Turn right at the corner, don't want to be late, dinners at eight.

Stopped on my journey by a gentleman this night. Looked into his dark eyes,

I fall under his spell, following along.......Holding me close, a cold comfort I feel.

Moving to the shadows, out of the light, to be alone with my new lover.

Gentle kisses on lips, a firm grip to my arm, squeezing me close.

Then kisses along my bare shoulders, a small bite to my neck as my passion grows,

I grow weak from his taste, but we're not late, dinner was at eight.

Woah!
Sensual, mysterious and eerily beautiful!
Loved the piece!
The end threw me off bit, even though I was already expecting it to happen...
Very well penned, Sir!

[Willard Wells]

Thank you so much, Jyoti. This was an experiment I guess since I don't generally write beyond the exploding thoughts in my head. Turned out to be fun and seemed to work. Appreciate the visit.

[Jyoti_Ablaze]

[Willard Wells]

Well, I am glad it grabbed you and brought you to some of my words. I am so happy that you enjoyed if. I am happy that you took the time to read my work.

[Mary Helda]

Probably one of my favorites so far! repetition has its' place, no? I think I'll add this to my favorites...Awesome work

[Willard Wells]

Thank you Scott. I appreciate the kind words and I am so happy you enjoyed it.

[Inject Positivity]

Such a passionate and warm feeling of love, i can actually feel that moment....Your words are always very passionate and i always find myself very close to the feelings they convey....Such a sweet and amazing poem....Hats off to you sir.....

[Willard Wells]

Thank you for the kind words about my work.

[softlyfall]

The kind of sensual seductive prose that leaves me weak in the knees. So much mystery...who are they, the vampiric lusty lovers?
Just...wow, Willard

[Willard Wells]

thank you so much for taking time to savor my daily fare and for your kind words. I am not a gruesome kind of guy so my vampire has to be more tantalizing at the very least.

[softlyfall]

People tend to forget that true evil is elegant and seductive. Satan was the most beautiful of his kind before the fall.

[Willard Wells]

As for original evil, I would agree, but today it is often just blood and gore.

[softlyfall]

I said TRUE evil, my friend. The core, the pith, the genesis of what passes these days for evil. They gore may make you cringe and run but never will it freeze the marrow in your bones like true unadulterated elegant and seductive
EVIL.

[wordman]

i believe this will be the winner !

[Willard Wells]

win or loss I do not care, as long as I had fun, which I did. Thanks for stopping in and giving your kind words.

I love a little vamp here and there. This is birth interesting and yet leaves some of the imagery up to the reader. Great job of flipping genders here ad's keeping the imagery flowing. I actually liked the continuity of the lines...using similar phrases and images from different perspectives. A fun piece to read Willard.

[Willard Wells]

Why thank you young lady. I appreciate your kinds words. I love to hear of all the things I do within a piece that never crossed my mind. I am the bull in the china shop writer. Just knocking stuff about and hoping it makes sense. Or does not ruin a perfectly good meal.

[JayceeC]

Lol, isn't it nice too know that while you're knocking around you do so with style. And thank you for the young party of the salutation

[Willard Wells]

I call it the way I see it young lady and yes it does give me joy to score one with no idea how I did it. :)

[JayceeC]

Lolololololol

[andrew mitchell]

A lovely write Willard, the lady sounds delicious, I wish I was the dracula in this piece and I would be on time! The repeating of "Dinner at eight" worked really well.

[Willard Wells]

Well he was on time and the dinner at eight I used at the beginning and then it just seemed to fit in the other place. This again started with the idea of the Vampire write contest and I had nothing that worked and I don't normally write based on an outside idea, but this felt right.

Again thanks for your time in visiting and commenting on my words.

[andrew mitchell]

you are welome

"She was a soft skinned beauty attracted to the night, walking between the flashes of light."

Loved the way you crafted this sentence. Enjoyed reading this poem. Thank you for sharing.

[Willard Wells]

Thank you so much. Surprised me a bit since my writing is more spur of the moment thoughts and I seldom if ever write based on an idea or suggestion which just for fun I did for a contest. It was fun to write. Appreciate the visit.
