In a state of high excitement she prepared for the Gothic party Dressed in jet black from head to toe with nails and lips shining black
Arriving at the Gothic mansion a shiver ran down her spine evil gargoyles grinned at her seeming ready to take flight
On entering the lights were black candles casting gruesome shadows in every corner standing near the edge of the dance floor she felt intense eyes staring at her
A Byronic style of dress he was wearing as he gave her a stately and elegant bow catching up her hand he swirled her round holding her so close his eyes devouring
They danced the night away together both were smitten by the flame of love as dawn struck the mansion bathing it her lover vanished in a puff of smoke
Realizing her lover to be lost until the dark of night returns she decides to be one with him to walk only in the dark of night
Gladly when he returns she accepts his kiss knowing that she leaves light far behind as she enters into his world of perpetual darkness

Since you've went over to Poetry Soup you keep on growing in talent and beauty as poet. A well done job Linda. I especially loved the ending, fantastic. Ps. Will be visiting your poem page soon over there and making my return.
Brilliant piece Shadow.. I could really get into this one. Great work Anthony.
