Skeleton Key

Skeleton Key

A Poem by Jason Shadows
"

To Which Realm?

"
"Embrace the after taste of haunting 
 desires that clings to your sorrow.

 Rise to fall under the purple lighting
 racing across the blackout within. 

 Hold high your dawning spirit that
 spits the way to hopelessness.

 Consider masking the view into 
 your heart that resists love now.

 Crossing the boneyard of animation 
 that returns you to life with meaning.

 Ghostly and swiftly under think your
 emotion of hope with vengeance.

 Cascade into my realm of loneliness
 a world called the whispering forlorned.

 Bring your skeleton key as the tool
 that leads back into your hollow body.

 You don't belong here so dig out
 from your grave and return home.

 If you have one, if they let you return 
 into their lives of the living, do they need you?

 You will always have another ticket for your time
 as the song of the dead must be sung - For you."
