Essence of Living

Rachel

I can not, I will not...please let this pass.

Your eyes haunt me as we said our last goodbyes, a man of war...his maiden...torn threw time.

From our first kiss to last, it was unbridled passion...the cosmos emptying it's very light into your countenance.

Stars fade, light dims, souls travel on.

I will wait , you said as I broke the news, and you did...till waiting could no longer take abode in your heart.

Release took you in the form of death, the bloody knife still there, still screaming my name, as you faded.

What is this life now, that you are gone, when your helios was denied you.....

Like a Prometheus unbound, I searched for the one that took you from me, and the gods smiled as vengeance was taken.

Love, violence, blood and sex

You still wait, in the garden between life and death, I'm coming....one day.
