Welcome back and Happy Halloween!!
So here’s the next of my two posts today, no it’s not a trick I think it’s a real treat (see what I did there). I know it was a real treat for me to write because I wasn’t alone doing it. This is my first collaboration Guys and Gals and just like Crossfit, I partnered up and was under pressure to perform.
Seriously though, I want to thank Tara Caribou over at Raw Earth Ink for being brave enough to give a newbie a chance. I’ve been stalking following her since, more or less, the moment I started blogging and her work is amazing (she’s quite a nice person as well snigger).
Now fly!
FLY!
Mwah Haa Haaa
Be Careful What You Wish For
She’s hungry, looking for her next lover
The vampire-thing last year ran its course
Yeti was fun for a while
The faun was highly overrated
This year is going to be different
Her desires will be satisfied for sure
Tapping her chin in thought with a long purple nail
Aha! An idea springs to mind
Why do I bother I never get lucky
And I always look great at a costume party
I’ve bought at least one from every stall
Only the best from comic con’s hall
Maybe this year will be my time
Why shouldn’t it, I’m in my prime
A geek, a nerd… Who the hell cares
It can’t be worse than the other nightmares
Dressing for success means tight leggings
And a vine wrapped around her arm
Dark, glittery makeup accentuates her eyes
Her provocative dress screams Earth Sorceress
I’ll dress as I am, let them sneer
Tell them I’m a serial killer
I’ll take my prop, the rubber knife
That’ll scare the sycophant low life
Arriving to the party fashionably late
Her eyes scan and immediately fall on the One
He’s uncomfortable, he’s unsure, he’s perfect
This year is gonna be different indeed
One more beer and I’ll call it a day
Erm; who is that woman walking my way
She’s dress to kill; don’t look, don’t stare
Look her nails match the purple in her hair
She doesn’t mix her words, no
It’s straight to the point
‘You and me, Killer, are going to be busy tonight
I’ve got a desire for someone just like you.’
What do I say, what do I do
She looks amazing I don’t have a clue
Play it cool “Hi, how are you”
Holy shit I’m gonna spew
Taking him home is just the first step
First it’s a special-brewed tea, just a hint of a spell
Nothing too terribly over-the-top
She knows from experience, one cup and he’s hers
How did I get here, what’s the catch?
Did she just put the door off the latch?
A cup of tea, a herbal brew
Guess it can’t hurt, a sip or two
As they sit on the couch drinking tea
And the conversation grows and deepens
She finds herself drawn in by him
A piece seems to fit into place
Bloody hell and OMG
What is this spell she has over me?
I’ll stick around, no you should go
Just enjoy this black widow’s bordello
Maybe what’s been missing this whole time
Is a connection with someone who’s real
She decides to drink the tea with him
This is shaping up to be the best Halloween ever
Her skin’s so pale, why do I fear
Purple in her eyes; why am I here
A nightmare, a dream; just make-believe
I think it’s time I took my leave
Gripping his wrist she begs him to stay
As expected he can’t turn her down
Her nail runs down his wrist and in she leans
Lips upon lips, teeth against teeth
Her touch is so beguiling but I’m no Romeo
She’s wrapped around my senses, won’t let me go
I never expected this to be so supernatural
She has a grip on me like fingers in my skull
As he lays there sleeping she casts another spell
She’ll do anything to keep him here
Night turns to day and day turns to night
Incantations layering neatly across his eyes
How long have I been here, lost in her touch
What is this I’m feeling, why don’t I care as much
I can’t let this go on even when I want to stay
Is this love or am I cursed, I have to get away
Imagine her surprise when come Monday morn
He’s slipped from her room with ease
This has never happened before
And so days turn to weeks and she rages at her loss
She’ll never forget when a nerd bested the witch
Find out how the story continues.
