Delightful anticip……ation

I could feel the hot breath on my neck. Then the skin of my throat began to tingle as one’s flesh does when the hand that is to tickle it approaches nearer, nearer. I could feel the soft, shivering touch of the lips on the super sensitive skin of my throat, and the hard dents of two sharp teeth, just touching and pausing there. I closed my eyes in languorous ecstasy and waited, waited with beating heart.

Show me where it hurts

The child is grown
The dream is gone
I have become comfortably numb

Just a few more swipes, I say to myself, as the hours escape through my headphones and around my insomniac doomscrolling silence. Oh look, death, destruction, and then soft kitties cuddling and purring, another delicious recipe that I will never cook, one more historical factoid about the Tower of London, more death and despair, a sweet lady with sassy inspirational rants, destruction and despair, a comedian who can speak ancient Latin, death, slaughter, death. The morning rises outside the window, he still snores happily in dreamland, and I get ready to pretend to be asleep when the alarm rings.

I will smile and kiss him good morning, nothing to see here, nothing to tell, did you sleep well, my love? Morning coffee, spicy jokes, sometimes a toast, let the day start. It’s all the same, continuously the same.

Quote: “Comfortably numb”, song by Pink Floyd
Prose by me

Once a warrior

When long ago I saw her ride
Under Ben Bulben to the meet,
The beauty of her country-side
With all youth’s lonely wildness stirred,
She seemed to have grown clean and sweet
Like any rock-bred, sea-borne bird

She grew up under the shadow of the mountain range, hearing ancient stories about ancient heroes of the land. She had dreams of brave adventures while she learned to wield a sword, and years later she had dreams of bloody vengeance while she lingered in her cell. She’s known freedom and she’s known hell, and she will defend this land with her life.

Quote: “On a political prisoner”, poem by William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)
Prose by me

Blame my soul

Oh, setting Sun,
Thy red rays maketh me cry.
They remind me of the one
Whose slumber wakes me in the sky.

While you carry on with your sad little life, morning follows night and the seasons never seem to move the shadows in your soul. That soul you believe to be immortal in some way, the soul that you have tarnished -not me, not ever- and now keeps you awake at night. I am innocent of your woes, but I can give you the freedom that you wish for. I have not hurt you, but I can bring you a new peace that you have yet to know. I am the only one who has not forsaken you.

The bridal bed awaits us both,
After the landscape of death I have crossed.
Before my sorrows I must die,
Nightwish I send through the starlit sky.

Prose by me

Spring moonlight

She rose among us where we lay.
She wept, we put our work away.
She chilled our laughter, stilled our play;
And spread a silence there.

And darkness shot across the sky,
And once, and twice, we heard her cry…

Where they triumph, where they die.

We the reins to slaughter give;
Ours to kill, and ours to spare…

Still I write my songs about that dream of mine
Worth everything I may ever be

Resurgence

We will go down we will drown drown, deeper down
The river wild will be our last ride
We will go down we will drown drown, deeper down
The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town

I want down a lifetime ago, and now that I arise, I am not sure what it is that emerged instead of me. My eyes see, yet they’re not entirely my eyes. I see the light but walk in shadows, I feel the summer wind but breathe only dark ice. I move along these friendly, familiar faces, and they’re all strangers. My voice learned to repeat empty pleasantries that put people at ease, while the other voice inside me hasn’t stopped screaming in terror since this creature with my face emerged from the depths where I was lost.
