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.

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!!!!!

Wow i love you as a writer. i could never get all of that from the picture. It's like it spoke to you and you learned and wrote. I liked this.

My oh my you combined a bit of eeriness with a strong message... you can't see the light of the future when you are blinded by the past... you always have such strong words behind your creative mind.

Wow. This is deep. Lol that image definitely puts the nail in the coffin (no pun intended).

This is definitely classic:
"You can't kill me now. I'm already Dead."

Nice write as usual, A! Your talent is endless.

[R J Askew]

sounds like you have nailed down the end of a strong love. 'Lust diminished' catches my eye. I think it is just true...lust does diminish as we change, inevitably. so the one who has caused the hurt and loss of love reaps the 'reward'.

I like the part that said:

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

I adore that! Yes, it is quite depressing, but I like how it sounds. Splendid, wonderful job!! :D

Wasn't expecting that pic. A great piece by a great writer. Love the ending. Perfectly placed and perfectly timed. Kudos to you.

[Poetic Injustice]

Whoa! The pic, itself ....

But the write.

Write on.
