redemption in verse.

Redemption in Verse.
________________

IF there was a way
to find redemption
through verse, I would
never stop writing...
until all of the demons
from my past became
angels..and you were
always there..smiling
at me from your chair
with moonlight from
the window kissing
the paleness of your
face.

All The wicked shit I did
would be a fiction...
or plot from some other
madman's nightmare that
ended with The Hero slaying
A Dragon who chased
fearful maidens through
a cave of darkness composed
of false memories.

Death would never touch
us..and the only tears would
be from the joy known when
consumed by Loves Embrace.

Yet..there is no redemption
in verse..it's only a form of
wishing that ends with the
inevitable reality that you are
gone.

(and I was The Dragon all
along.)
