[hometext] => I took a break after eight ... but have been asked to bring Blood Flower back ... well ... here we go again
[bodytext] => A thick, low fog has risen from the river
It blankets the ground of the harbor town
Pouring out over the byways in a cotton candy way
Silhouetted in the misted moonlight
A raptor, perched silent atop the gables
Searches out some unsuspecting prey
From the darkness below, just an oversized gargoyle
Watching o’re the earth bound denizens
Of the shrouded city streets
Upon an adjacent roof across the alleyway
I mirror her form, appearing as another
Stone like guardian of the eves
Yet our watchful eyes are not those of protectors
We are hunters, surveyors and destroyers
Of the creature called man
Oh, the wicked games that time doth play
On one who’s lived so many days
My childhood has become long forgotten
Our current wait concerns us naught
For time has little meaning to us anymore
We’re bound no longer by its constraints, save one
We must seek shelter ‘ere the first ray
Of the new days sun befalls upon us
Evil thrives in darkness and is destroyed by light
We have no concern of that at this moment
Whereas the night sky has just birthed the moon
And the terror that will be us ~ quite soon
When a stooped figure staggers by below muttering curses
Of watered ale and the unfair practices of a local proprietor
Our patience seems justly rewarded
Twice, does he stumble and nearly fall
Before pausing to lean against the wall
Directly beneath me
My eyes are mesmerized by her as she moves
Her graceful motion would have bestilled my heart
Had I one
Gauging the distance, as would a cat, she pauses
A sudden short preparatory bounce
And she drops down three floors to the earth below
Inebriated eyes attempt to focus on the sound
They are only able to discern her form
As it rises through the mist
He mumbles apologies at not having seen her prior
Hoping his disorderly outburst was not the source
Of her disturbance
With a singsong voice she settles and reassures him
Explaining that the streets had done much to confuse her
Asking if he could help her find her way
Imbued with confidence and emboldened by spirits
He makes the fatal mistake of draping an arm
Across the shoulders of death
Ivy enjoys the hunt and is a connoisseur of games
She enjoys toying with her conquests
Prior to condemnation of their souls
She has also developed a taste for those of consumption
For the blood carries the alcohol
And she thrills at the lingering effects
However, unless she asks
And she asks only of me
My Ivy will not be touched
In the length of time it takes his heart to beat twice
She has bared her teeth
And deprived him of his larynx
As his body topples, concealed by the smoke like mantle
She drops down upon him to feed
My senses register the odor of fresh, warm blood
I allow her the certainty that she will remain undisturbed
By maintaining my post, for in short order
She will return the service
~ My hunger will soon be sated ~
( The Blood Flower hunts tonight )

They're always very captivating.
But you gotta print them out
to really enjoy them.
Save them all
and read them again.
Nice work, Nazzy!
You do this very well.
I am looking forward to more.

Naz,
Wow, I am spellbound, your words are so compelling; and the write so intense. I find your talent very humbling, Naz. I have learned a lot from you, but am still in the infancy stage. The very first stanza .... fog spreads ... a blanket .... like cotten candy.... Awesome
Super job,
Willofree |

Ah, the hunt begins once more... The tale lives on, and the lovers shall meet again... Such enchantment, such inhuman splendor, these words that you so flawlessly weave... I am overjoyed to see another submission with the obscure hunter (s) and the lovely Blood Flower. You ended with us, you entranced audience, begging for more, hungering for just one more taste... Incredible write, once again dear Scott. You never fail to impress and entice your readers, always capturnig their full attention, and holding it in an iron fist till the very end... Votre fleurdesang is very much pleased!! Hope to see another piece of perfection from you, divine poet. You have, once more, left me breathless, senseless, and utterly yearning for more... More of this bittersweet agony, more of this deliciously morbid tale... I thank you for sharing this fantastic write, and so many others. Much love! Forever,
Fleur de bonheur
Mon coeur saute un battement.. Et je souhaite pour cette sensation pour ne jamais terminer..Tout mon amour, mon chasseur de dearest.. , BF |
