the valency

A Poem by joshua deathdealer

10/2014

it may be sooner than you think

the ghost whispered through the chattering of teeth and the

brittle leaves scuttling away from me

the moon was full the night the valency began

cracked in character

feeble in nature

I caved inside myself

smitten with a singular thought

a beam of blinding light

beating in my lungs

pulsing with my breath

soon it'll slam like a door and eternity will open up

and I will die as I have lived

with this gleam in eye, with this spectral sword in hand

given to glory, to purity

I will walk until I am home, until I am with you

Just dropping by to read some of your poems. This was beautiful and painful at the same time. I don't know or maybe it's just my mood. But the last line "I will walk until I am home, until I am with you" slew it all. It was perfect, Joshua, as usual. I really hope I can check out all your poems that I haven't read. ㅠㅠ
