Do not tiptoe past the dead, you'll not disturb their slumber. Nor whisper in hushed voices to hide secrets from their deaf ears. They lay restless amongst the ancient catacombs in their shrouds No haste taken, seasons no longer have meaning for them. Gaze upon their pale faces turned lifelessly towards you. Their eyes cold and distant as they follow your movements along Seemly so familiar yet having never met before, and never knowing. All are one in life as in death, it's mystery unraveled. Hobble down the broken cobblestones as you carry your heavy load. An invisible burden of unforgiven sin chained to your weary soul Weighing you down, crushing your fragile spirit with no relief. This your token pleasure to cherish for all eternity. Link your arm with mine through the beckoning black rose garden. Inhale of their sweet fragrance without ever detecting a scent. Reach and touch with no feeling only to bleed without staining. These are the precious gifts of your self-made purgatory. by Mystic Requiem  ©2000 9-19-00  |

Wow... now, THIS, held my attention to the end! Being one guilty of building personal purgatory, I felt that your imagery more than aptly described it. Great write! Thanks! Sheila |

I guarantee I will never feel the same the next time I walk through a cemetery. This was creepy in the most intriguing way! Great, eerie work here! I loved this piece! Jeremy "Those little slices of death, how I loathe them." -Edgar Allen Poe |

Hi Mystic Requiem, It was a priviledge to find this beauty of darkness, I was captured from the start to ending, I tried to find a favorite line but the whole thing is simply wonderful, this is a keeper thank you so much.

Mystic, I love this, like I already said, but here you speak of death, etc. and my Tears and Blood was removed because of its graphic content...I truly need access to your forum where I belong. Jeremy "Those little slices of death, how I loathe them." -Edgar Allen Poe |
