The leaden cast of somber sky
reflects lost hope 'til runs in streams
(obscuring vision from these eyes)
are tears now wept of blood it seems .

No miracle to be be-held
in cruciform to be displayed ,
they flow as if from life-spring welled
to mark the end of this charade .

For though we swore allegiance to
each other brother from the start ,
with blade turned in , I excise you
now seperate , alone , apart.

Wrent from this flesh and mind as one ,
washed clean in streams of crimson tears ,
'til when at last their flow is done
this pall shall lift that I see clear ,

we're so alike in many ways .
You never were a part of me .
You bore false witness , now I say ,
was I the fool you thought I'd be ?

For ne'r could this be writ of you
how great we did pretend , we two .

A lot of hurt was pictured in this piece. You puzzeled your words together wonderfully... A dark work indeed!

Your work fascinates me. You manage to take language and make it your own. You already know I'm a fan, so I won't bore you with adulation--smile--but I thought it would be nice to remind you anyhow!!!

Jessica ,
Yes , betrayal by a close friend leaves its
own distinct mark on us all . Though the details sometimes fade , it takes very little effort to feel that wrongness .
Thanks
Doc

serenity ,
Thank you so much . Heap praise on me all you want ( I promise I won't let it go to my head ! ) You are much too kind .
Doc

Alan ,
Thank you . Back when this happened I did not have the words to express what I was feeling . I started rummaging around the old skeleton closet and this just sort of popped out .

Doc
