She Gave Off That Vibe

She wore a Gothic look on the sands of time
Looking a bit maniacal, but this could be the make-up
Was she trying for Steampunk or something newer?
Something she created for herself? I was curiously curious.

Her eyes were more azure than cornflower, but definitely blue.
I could see her perched on the arm of Poe’s chair
Impatiently waiting for him to write The Raven.
She gave off that vibe.

I curiously liked this quite a lot Caren...suggestive and meaningful yet just a bit of mystery and very satisfyingly and competently constructed.

Yeah, I get a creepy feeling sometimes when I see young girls with the Gothic look. I don't know what attracts them to it, but I'm a "live and let live" sort of person. And I believe "to each his/her own." Hey, I probably appear strange to someone.
