He sits quietly, sickly glow of monitor, casting face in death's radiance, wondering how he will survive. Her death was well deserved and long time in coming, evil demon of lust and greed, who passing from this coil, will give life to this heart. He places fingers on keys, to begin his life anew, painting portraits in rhyme, sculpting statues in prose. the very life's blood again, that once made him a man, but which she stole violently. He taps the squares of the muse, watching verse flow before him, feeling the power of creation, in his abiltiy to pen joy. Somewhere, in labrynth of thought, he senses her soul stir, the soul of doubt and fear, the soul of the mute, the numb. He feels her seethe deep, weak, not quite as dead, as he had prayed for. He races with poem, trying to put down each line, cause he understands, with the certainty of the dead, that she will come back to him. for like sorrow, and the misty ocean, all things shall return.

I was challenged to write a poem with the verse "and like the misty ocean, all things shall return" This is the fruit of that seed... Obscurum per obscurius JP |

Consider the challenge answered and conquered. I've only read a few of you works but I've yet to be disappointed. I doubt I ever will be. Well written, I bow to you and yours. |
