Seven
1. It’s easier to write dark than light. It is my gift to bring the dead to life.
2. I will take possession of all I see, love and grief and hope and art.
3. What you have I want. Your peace, sitting quietly with your heart.
4. The Furies, my pets, they howl and tear and spit you out bone by bone.
5. A slow weight, a heavy eye. Time slips through me and is gone.
6. I am so hungry and yet I barely taste. I have cleared the feast and guzzled the wine.
7. Now come here; let me rip the thoughts from your mind.

This is like a gothic version of the anglo-saxon riddles..
ReplyDeleteVery good.
by the way, may I add you to my blog-roll?
Thanks. I hope you added me to your blog-roll.
ReplyDeleteI did indeed. And from my stats, someone from mine came over here.
ReplyDeleteYou wrote this, I presume. It's good. Sort of like what Zen Tightrope Walking Dude said, although I don't know what anglo-saxon riddles are. I love me some Gothic, though.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry. I don't know what possessed me to call zenandtheartoftightropewalking Zen Tightrope Walking Dude. So I'll revise that to just Viv. I saw that that was your name. Again, I'm sorry.
