....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....

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
