🩸 Author’s Note
The second installment in my “Nocturnal” series — a four-part descent into dark romance and immortal longing. “Nightfall Serenade” continues the story begun in “Nocturnal Waltz,” tracing the ache of distance and the echo of a love that transcends life and death. It’s a serenade for those who have loved ghosts, gods, and impossibilities — and called it devotion.

Nightfall Serenade
Poetry by Rowan Evans
(June 9th, 2024)
You and I, from two different worlds,
Mine amongst the living, yours the undead.
We met at a ball, danced a nocturnal waltz,
A time, I hoped would never end,
But then, in an instant, you were gone.
Where did you go, my love,
My goddess of the night?
Why did you leave, my love,
My Gothic dream?
Every night, you’d come to me,
It was real, more than just dreams.
The way you embraced me,
It made me feel, so safe with you.
An endless dance, just the two of us,
Me and you.
In the moonlight’s gentle glow,
We’d whisper secrets only the night could know.
Your touch, a cold flame,
Burning with a passion that knew no name.
The air was always thick with jasmine,
A fragrance that told me you were near,
Its scent a silent promise,
Of your return, of our love, eternal.
Every night, with you,
It was my dream come true.
Nyx, my Gothic dream,
It was just, me and you.
It was your dark aesthetic,
That drew me in, the fangs and bat wings.
You were everything I wanted,
You became everything I needed.
You and I, from two different worlds,
Mine amongst the living, yours the undead.
We met at a ball, danced a nocturnal waltz,
It’s you and I, until my bitter end,
My goddess of the night.
Nocturnal Waltz
A fleeting, intoxicating moment between a femme-fatale vampiress and her human lover, where shadows, desire, and danger intertwine in a nocturnal waltz of longing and seduction.
