Emile Pinet Poet Sonnet

Chalice of the Night

She visits in the darkness of the night:
a soulless, winged creature of vampire lore.
A shadowless shadow shunning the light,
softly scratches upon my bedroom door.

With my heart pounding, I open the door;
rapturously under her ghoulish trance.
And the moment we kiss, I crave much more,
as we swirl in the throes of our blood dance.

And waltzing to the very edge of time,
each vampiric kiss: begins with a bite.
Slightly nervous, my anxieties climb:
drinking deep from the chalice of the night.

And as befitting creatures of the night;
our silhouettes morph into bats in flight.

Ann Peck January 24, 2022 at 4:14 PM Emile, Your poem ended up in Brian Strand's contest instead of Chantelle's. Maybe it's not too late to change. Emile Pinet January 25, 2022 at 7:40 AM Thanks, Ann, but I entered and won both contests, my friend, Emile.

L Milton Hankins January 22, 2022 at 2:44 PM Wow, this is an enchanting way of looking at the Chalice of Night, Emile. Enjoyed it and best wishes in the contest. I'm reading several of these poems that have such different approaches to the theme. It will be interesting to see what Chantelle likes.
