A Wishful Visit

Welcome

I've been expecting you

Far too long, I must say

Please do come in

It's a bit chilly in here

Dusty and bleak

But a home's a home

After all

 

I'm ready

There's no better time

For your delightful visit

The rain's still pouring outside

It's so loud I can't hear

The dreadful sound of my voice

But surely you understand me

 

After you.

I'm willing to follow you

For you musn't fear I'll run away

Or escape your captivity

I'm entirely yours

For the rest of eternity

Have no doubt

That I will go where you take me

 

You're more bland

And quiet

Than what I imagined

But it doesn't matter

You're finally here

Take me with you

Please

Don't make me beg

 

And without even leaving the room,

I'm gone,

Leaving a vast vacancy in my body

As my soul

Flees from its carnal entrapments

 

Death--

And its beauties--

Consumes me.

never having climbed too far
she hadn't far to fall ...
the choices were not easy ones
with her back against the wall ~

the steady sound of water drips
was all that she could hear …
their ever rising levels
added fuel to her fears ~

she couldn’t jump – she couldn’t stay
she knew she’d die here either way …
with arms uplifted, clutching air
her final debt was paid.

may she rest in peace.
