poetry is the honey of the human soul
gathered on wings of misery and travail
placed on skins of vellum scroll
stained with the blood of here below

the permanent marks once crimson red
now bear the taint of a living dead
the luster of the skin is gone
yet the poets pen still lingers on

Speaking of ghosts, wouldn't you know here comes mine again...
