MIRRORS OF LIFE
MOONLIGHT VISITOR
SHE CAME AND SET DOWN IN MY GARDEN
IN THE GLOW OF A SOMBER MOON'S LIGHT
I FOUND MYSELF WANTING TO HOLD HER,
NOT FOREVER...BUT, JUST FOR TONIGHT.
SOMEHOW, SHE HAD ALL THE ANSWERS
AS SWIFTLY INTO HER ARMS I DID GLIDE
HER SKIN LIKE THE MILKSHADE OF MOURNING
AS HER BREAST HELD MY SOUL THAT HAD DIED.
I REMEMBER EMBRACING HER FULLY-
AS HER SWEET PERFUME EXCITED MY KISS
AND I WOULD RECEIVE FOR MY REGRETTING
NOT ONE FLEETING GLANCE WOULD I MISS.
FAR AWAY I HEARD MY WIFE WEEPING
TWO CHILDEN STOOD BY HER SIDE
SOMEWHERE BACK ON EARTH A MEMORY,
AS FOR ME.............SUICIDE!
FOR NEPHILIM HAD WONDERFULLY BLESSED ME
AND GAVE ME THE ESCAPE THAT I CRAVED
AS SHE ARTFULLY & TERRIBLY SEDUCED ME
INTO A FAILURE'S MORBID GRAVE.
YES, IT WAS I WHO HAD CALLED HER
AND YES IT WAS I WHO HAD DIED
BUT ALAS! HERE I AM, NOW THE SMARTER
AS HERE IN MY ROOM I DO HIDE!
NO GHOSTLY FINGERS PENNED THESE TREASURES
THESE WORDS OF ABSOLUTE, TOTAL REGRET,
AND AWOKE ME TO NEPHILIM'S TENDER KISSES
LIKE SOME AFTER-NIGHT DEWY-WET!
FOR I ESCAPED MY PLANS THAT I GAVE HER
AS I IGNORED EVERY SCREAM TO KNOW BLISS,
FOR NEPHILIM SUICIDE, I REMEMBERED
CAN OWN ME ONLY IF I DO KISS.....
I THANKED HER FOR THE DEATH OF PLANTS AND FLOWERS
AND LITTLE ANIMALS THAT SHE KILLED ONE BY ONE,
THEN SHE LEFT MY GARDEN WHERE I WAS SETTING
FACING AN ALTOGETHER-DIFFERENT, WELCOMING DAWN.
