....Tales From the Crypt!?

The back door.... Around one thirty amid the Octobers early morn A beautiful young lady dressed in sheer black Pomegranate lips with the deepest of dark alluring eyes Long flowing ebony silkened hair; radiant An hour-glass figure of ivories white smooth skin Adorned within silver, gold, onyx and turquoise jewelry She, the picture perfect image of, a lovely gypsies queen? A princess making her way towards this dimly lit table Out of nowhere; thinking unto myself, I have seen this moment before.... A slow felt dance; sweetly spoken words; a sparkling and seductive smile Thirty minutes or so later following closely behind unto, a nighttimes place Warm whispers; soft kisses; a young mans undressing of dreams!? Nothing left to be said except, the intoxicating flavours; these Mid-morning passions burning brightly their, delicately intense, sighs.... Closing my eyes to suddenly recollect, when I was but a child Halloweens late-night; lost around the corner from my very own home? Walking up unto the decorated door to ring, its bell; trick or treat Another beautiful young lady; dark hair, dressed, as a lovely witch Inviting myself in.... Opening my eyes again; she must leave but, she shall be right back? Back in black; retrospects sea of reflective revelations; thus given ~ My first wintry witching encounter was but a year before; lost; when I was seven Out of my dreams; these nightmares, now standing afore my sight; the fallen?! My entire life I have found and find that, "God," has always been by my side.... What purpose and why? I, mired deeply within my own lifes sins as, darkness Has sought my existence; the pulse of my beating heart; my breath; my soul ~ This book of reasons; pages turning upon the visions of truth so told! One last midnights moment left; the wistful hours brewings of, a destinies.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ....Tales from the crypt!?

Thanks for your comments, John. I will ask Debra and Catie the question. Pinocchio had dreams, at least in the story. Love, Carolyn

Interesting tale that you have told in this Halloween tale...Seeing that witch at age seven must have been nightmare material for sure..Thanks for stopping by and reading my work.."Had Times Been Different"..Sara

Well oh well, that sounds like a romatinic horror film? I watched "The Seventh Sign"; eerie enough.:( "Beetlejuice' played also, my kinda stuff, as I am cowardly, for sure. Hmmm, mail from afar. Not by pony express, huh? Maybe on the pounce of a kangaroo, or between the humps of a camel? Half way around the world doesn't sound like walking distance. Makes me feel nosey, what'up with you? Anyhow, this is reflective piece, John. No indication of where you are, a mention of where you've been.

This reminds me of dreams I had as a child..near accidents, etc. I don't know why I was protected either..I have lived, sinful, wretched, with lots of foolish, wasted years, but God has always been there..sometimes I wonder.. Thanks for sharing this, John..And hope you are well. Love, Audrey

A very interesting write, my dear John. It feels good now that I have time to read poems, I'm so glad you wrote a new one. I love the way you portrayed that gypsy queen who seems to be just the cover for deeper meanings in your poem. Have a nice day!:) Kisses, Emilia
