Once

For Halloween, inspired by a photo.

 

 

You didn't lose me

My kisses are felt

In wet dreams

Lost in Violet nights

 

That could have been...

You

Twisted

Turned

Molded

Burned

 

But...

 

Don't seek retribution

 

Mother Earth will heal...

 

As she did me.

 

Consecrated,

I smile at Freedom

From...

 

Endless Hunger

Unquenchable Thirst

Unfulfilled Desire

 

Guilt it does stain in red

Bloody nectar has
 Dissipated and

Lust diminished

 

Almost...

 

Look to the past only when 
Ready to confront darkness

The forest will reveal

All Answers

 

I prepare my 
Visitation as Sacrilege
To only you...

Just this once...

 

You can't kill me now.

 

I'm already Dead.

 

 

Author's Note

Just for fun folks.

Awesome Imagery and the flow was nice and unexpected graphic:)great thrill there at the end was a great touch. I also appreciate the words actually follow the graphic but you cant see it until the end but the words flow right into it and wham there you are starring at the picture and it all fits as a whole....no gaps a zombie laying in the arms of a man s is he dreaming of his secrete lover while holding his wife?........ or is it a reality of lost love that has died within his arms? I see this impression also here being presented to my mind and eyes .............. great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I liked these lines, really they say so much

this to me is very much the freedom from our human selves and the principles of a higher self to free us from them.
A great write my friend......actually awesome!!!!!

OK that was creepy and here I though Halloween was over. well done

[Jessica Fox]

You had a great poem and then I saw the dead chick with the guy and started laughing my a*s off! Still a great poem though.

Just for fun? This gets pretty deep. The image at the end was a shocker, but the poem - awesome. The images of a violet night, bloody nectar, unquenchable thirst create vivd settings in my mind. I'll have to read this a couple times to determine the symbolism of the Forest which has all the answers. That's a cool metaphor and probably something more personal, then again you wrote this for fun, so it's open to interpretation, but that's the great thing about poetry; it speaks to us all differently. The last line is powerful as hell; "You can't kill me, I'm already dead."

wow, great fun. that pic scared me by the way.lol

[Periac]

oooo the picture made me cringe.......if thats your fun..........lol

[J.Black]

Holy s**t this was so good and so haunting. I really gotta say the picture at the end was brilliant and tied in so well, however scared the s**t outta me! Ha!

"You can't kill me now. I'm already Dead."

Your so talented.

Woh, that's pretty haunting stuff! I liked the line, "Look to the past only when ready to confront darkness. The forest will reveal all answers." I guess one way to view that line is; from all of the stuff the guy did to her in the past; she can prove it, and maybe she will seek revenge when the time is right in the future or somethin hehe. Very cool, yet eerie poem!
