mischievous haunter! dragging me from midnight slumber to tread a black house to sit on a black lawn to sit in the strobe of distant tempests (heat, heat lightning) why daddy, is your ghost fond of troubling portents? your death the fulcrum (half of me past, half to come) sharp, cutting the tether (you had measured the length to chaos) giving you rest that life would not yet restless, you claw up through tangled memory flexing your muscles cockerel, strutting into waking dream now no man was ever stronger in the end, weeping unable to feed yourself unable to accept fate or to challenge it no man was ever weaker adulterous lecher savior, savant bad example, hero living your myth writing your epic building your cross your flung crown tears at my brow, my eyes cannot look away until a child, my child has found me in blackness stand close my love hear this promise this burden I will not pass strong and true will I live and die and only on darkest storm-tossed nights will his cross and crown smear me with bitter blood |

This was as powerful as the content described herein. I hope serenity eases the segue to resolution and that the ghost may go on as the lives that have been affected... -MVS You CAN make a difference: |

As I read this piece, I remembered sifting through the ashes... And I am so glad in my heart that these emotions can be written, and released here. A powerful and exceptional write. TD |

A powerful piece, indeed. Others should see this one, methinks. Enjoyed the dark stroll m'friend. |
