Gothic Romance

In a state of high excitement she prepared for the Gothic party Dressed in jet black from head to toe with nails and lips shining black Arriving at the Gothic mansion a shiver ran down her spine evil gargoyles grinned at her seeming ready to take flight On entering the lights were black candles casting gruesome shadows in every corner standing near the edge of the dance floor she felt intense eyes staring at her He was dressed in dashing Byronic style as he gave her a stately and elegant bow catching up her hand he swirled her round holding her so close his eyes devouring They danced the night away together both were smitten by the flame of love as dawn struck the mansion bathing it her lover vanished in a puff of smoke Realizing her lover to be lost until the dark of night returns she decides to be one with him to walk only in the dark of night Gladly when he returns she accepts his kiss knowing that she leaves light far behind as she enters into his world of perpetual darkness written 10/18/2013 contest Gothic or Romance
