My first ever clumsy attempt at a sit-down poem. I'd been doing poetry tag for a few months and decided I liked writing. It's based on a girl I met online, a poetess, who considered herself a "Vampeel", one who feeds on energy rather than blood.  

ADrEaMoFDaRkNeSs

Entering the mist of night,
Dark woven shadows...
A panoply
Of unseen shrouds,
Like curtains of unlight
Which trap the thoughts
Enrapturing the mind
Within a veil of hidden sights,
Exposing every sense
To dark unknowns,
Brushing on the soulish realm,
Begetting only terror
And paralyzing fright.
.
By touch alone
This iridescent light,
A promised thrill,
A wistful whim
Is aptly known
Evoking every flavor
Of tantalized delight.
.
With the spirit sense perceive
A chill sensation,
Dark sweet passion
Winding tight
Like silk from widow weaved.
.
Transformed by predilection
To an eerie selling
Of the soul
For shaded promise
With temptations vague.
.
With pensive heart receive
The souls delight
A dream of shadows flickering,
A dream elusive
In it's mocking flight
A dream of darkness.......

Hey this is a great read. Nice job for your first poem. Please write more. I know what you mean about not writing for a while or ever for that matter. I stopped writing for a while and became rusty, the first one is always the hardest. Good job here.

If you love someone, let them go. If they come back, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were.

Thank you Brittany. Yes, it was my first non-improv poem, the first I'd deliberately set out to write with a mentally rehearsed theme. I'd been writing strictly improv's in poetry tag settings for around 4-6 months before this. Glad you liked it.

Thank you so much, for the friendship and the kind comment both, Romantic one.

It's actually a little sad if I consider the idea that my best poetry is pain and darkness, lol! (No reflection upon your comment, which I take fully for a byte of praise, well meant.) Thanks again!
