Brother voodoo. Take me from the dust of memory, Where disturbed, dank earth ripples, Give me form, when cool marble slumbers, Through mossed splinters of shattered oak, Call me back, Draw me to you, with root and talisman, Make me whole with your desire, Enslave me with your art, Fill my veins with purpose, Or let me sleep, In listless limbo you task me, You ask me, you demand, Sinews contract and bones crack, At your whim I toil unrelented, Your whisper is my world And mojo my tormentor, But I toil on unrelented, Oh let me sleep In caskets cataleptic cocoon, No rending of mildew silk Nor cuticle blackened resurrection, Mandrake cannot hold me, No needle pierce my soul, Serpent and cockerel boil not my blood, For my work is done, Oh give me sleep, eternal. Olias. |

Well, smarts may or not be a factor but dedication to writing quality material certainly is. This is wonderful construction so easy to read it belies the work involved in its creation. Top grade.... |
