Excursions In The Late Night Wood (A Return)

Though she has traveled here before

She finds she must return once more

Drawn to this place, cannot explain

She can feel a hunger, feel the pain

Is it man, or is it beast?

It does not matter in the least

This calling never seems to cease

Every night, the calls increase

Even sleeping in her bed

She hears the whisper in her head

A snapping twig, the rustling brush

All through her body, tingling rush

Passion with a touch of fear

Her senses tell her it is near

As pouring rain begins to drive

She knows now that he has arrived

She hears the breathing, closer now

The moment is upon her now

As lightning crackles in the sky

Through the air he starts to fly

Upon her in a second split

His features by the moonlight lit

Her shaking hand upon his face

His breathing starts to quicken pace

Deep in his chest, a rumbling growl

And suddenly, a wanton howl

Torrential rains, he grabs her tight

And carries her into the night

Into a cave, far from the rain

Here in this place she’ll take his pain

Amidst the roar of evening thunder

A spell of passion they fall under

The fury of the blackened skies

Pales to the lust within their eyes

Through the night and raging storm

The two become one mystic form

As storms continue through the night

Two lovers bathe in passion’s light

ยฉ The Beginning At Last

  2. Wow, he caught herโ€ฆfinally.
    Only a matter of time, with all that wandering around in the woods she does.
    Of course, she knew exactly what to expect the entire time, though.
    Itโ€™s perfect.
    Love it!

  3. Hi, I am writing an epic called Mahabharatham. Itโ€™s a continuity that would have many chapters. My question is, when I publish, under the category of Mahabharatham, it reaches very less no of people, unlike the daily prompt. Is there a way to deal with this. Pls do let me know.

    1. You could try tagging it with any tags that pertain to the content, i.e. spirituality, adventure, etc.
      I’d be happy to help spread the word too if you like. Good old word of mouth advertising still works as well ๐Ÿ˜Š

      1. In my previous page, I have tagged it to daily prompt, daily prompt 1950. Which I am sure belongs to the past. So itโ€™s getting locked somewhere in the unknown world ๐Ÿ˜€.
        That would be very sweet of you to extend ur help. Thank u so much๐Ÿ™
        Also let me know if I can do anything through my settings. The category is Mahabharatham. It might go on till 1000 least. Every week I have decided to publish, either during a Friday or a Saturday

      2. You can sometimes still see the tags for the older daily prompts as well, so it might not be totally lost tagging them there.
        I will take a look to see if I notice anything that will help.
        And my pleasure. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™

      4. I would remove the “Uncategorized” tag from them, and don’t use it going forward. I’ve read that using that tag can sometimes bury posts. I don’t know if it’s true but a lot of prominent bloggers don’t use it.
        Perhaps create a “Creative Writing” category and use that in addition to “Mahabharatham”?

        I would also tag it when you post with something like “epic”, “historical”, and anything else that might pertain to the plot. 4 or 5 good tags can help quite a bit.

        Liked by 2 people

      15. It should still be 5, because the other half of the work needs to be completed over the remaining half of the month. Unless the work is reduced by half for the entire month. In which case, you should only need 2.5 headcount to complete.

Ok leave it. Our school name is ” Goblin ๐Ÿ‘บ golla school of fun ๐Ÿ˜ and laugh. ” Every time you have to wish your teacher ๐Ÿ˜ good golla morning with smile ๐Ÿ˜ face. Now today’s homework ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ tell me one difference between homo habilis and homo erectioous ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€ because you have great interest on them i guess.
