Blood Summons

Garnet beauty issues its liquid invitation
sometimes, calling to me from miles away.
The summons offers enticement to my inclinations.
Hunger rolls over me like the purposeful stride
of a lynch mob, overpowering my senses.
On the scent, soon I will be caught up in its power,
helpless to break the spell of the blood lust until
I strike again...

Beautifully rendered

You know what you're doing. Obviously. And I like the way you've ended it, with things left unsaid, unmentioned ... But then ... what remains that follows? Or might follow? The image, the imagination, the reader's mind's eye. Whether evil or ... Of course. Thanx, Chuck PS: Better to fix that it's, though. Don't think you mean "in it is power."

Hi Chuck

Thanks for bringing my attention to my spelling mistake, I've corrected it and changed the last line just a tad ;) Hugs, Cat

"Strike" is better. Nice change. Adds w/o taking anything away. Hugs right back, Chuck

Cat, Edge certainly has a way with her words~ You may want to sleep with one eye open! Nicely written~ ______________________________________________________ Income-tax forms should be more realistic by allowing the taxpayer to list "Uncle Sam" as a dependent Anonymous
