Inky ghost swells

They're just ghosts, yet

      the reason to carry on

  within misty haunted spaces,

inky swell's gut wrenching screams

      gushing in emotion's notions

blotting memories' rhyme

  rose red's unheard dispersion 

hung in untimely compulsion

  bloating infraction's heady chimes 

quarter past forget-me-knots

   breathes through starry skies,

      bleeding 'tween scar tissue

slipped a noose in honor

   of dynasty's regal baptism

     alleged devotional prayers

still wallowing in disbelief,

   revelation's in chapter and verse

of righteous indignation's denial

  judgement of kingdom come's

        concluded restitution,

dancing amidst horizons's

         spiritually cursed compensation

Ahhh Mama F, it's poetry likes that makes everything all the worthwhile, to sit down, after a hard day(s) and read you makes my days so much brighter. I just hate when I can't/don't read you, makes me feel like I am missing something.

This, for me, hit the jackpot. xoxo

Poetry is god when he is nostalgic for man.

[Ed Fagan]

Very good to see you still pushing forward. I always enjoyed reading your work.

Frieda I read this is in a science book 'Energy can be neither created nor destroyed, but can change form...' - it makes no mention of energy guiding us through life and yet ... I get that this is the case, in lots of your writing. You are Blessed.

Quarter past forget-me-knots, you're so smart with word play and just making everything fit beautiful whiles composing these perfect poems. It's like effortless, perfection. It's beautiful just to be a part of the process of a poem of this caliber, as a reader its an honor. Your words have a strong pull, like a tug-o-war in the heavens between belief and authority. I took from this a message.

Kaze~

[Onyia-Ali, Kingsley Chu..]

Your wordings really flow in ambugity, with imagery and run-on-line. I love this "...forget-me-knots" well written.

[Tai Ryens]

They're just ghosts, yet the reason they are still around is due to the intensity of their emotions chaining them to the realm of the living . . . Truly well done and intense poem, as always.

[Ayushi]

You are an amazing writer with awesome imagination

Love your ghostly references, I am reviewing this one out if the 2093 read requests as the title caught my eye. This has a great structure and the short phrasing in sentences works well, nice accompanying image too.
