I Will Take As Many Words As I Want To Write This Story

[b]In Twilight[/b]

[i][c=#BF0080]She walks in the twilight,
as a soulless hull of
the women she once was.

N'ere was a trig broken,
a footstep heard or a leaf
snapped underfoot.

She spoke not a word.
A sentient warrior, e'er
vigilant against the night.

I could follow her.
Let her lead me to the secret
places she goes unseen to all.

Flights of fancy, of
wild fantasy come true (n'ere to leave again!)
I saw in my dreams.

In dreams she was but as I, a lonely wondering
minstrel existing not for ourselves but rather
for the women we once were..

She would fade into night as day came.
No more than a wisp o' the wind
would remain of her. A secret only true seers saw!

I could follow her into whatever abyss
she'd lose herself into and love her, madly!
Yet those who did never returned. [/c][/i]

A mistress slipping through the nights of unknown. I love it & your old world verbiage(sigh) fondly!
@SW-User A wandering soul, a being of time and space, a maiden existing for and of the night and the night alone. A lonesome traveler on night's highway of life and death. A soulless hull o' the women she once was and yet one that loves with more passion than when it was ever present!

OK-got kinda world there but I COULD have kept going. Why do you ALWAYS inspire me!!!

I knew the only way to make this work was to be old world about. To harken back to a day and time when fairies, sprites, magick, and maladies of the night-vampirism and werewolves WERE BELIEVED IN! So my inner Poe and Barrett I had to summon. The mix it with early Dylan.

Glad you read this!

@Elandra77 I love your ramblings as a rambler myself. I totally feel this one as a soul wanderer of night(that's no secret). You paid due justice to the greats of the olden time!!
