the revenant ~

I cannot resist, repeatedly falling into darkness...
for its resonance, is mesmerizing...
keeps call...calling...
 
I'm sorry, my lovely ones, I must leave,  
must leave.
 
my heart, despite all, still bleeds its love's wishes...
 
{constant, delusional cacophony.}
 
my mind again, tries not to listen.
too late...
it's too late for me...
for this transition has already begun...
 
(believe me, it's not like I ever have any choice.)
 
screaming muses, now left behind —
their voices now so faintly  
linger in dusky forest;
becomes sadly, temporarily ignored.
 
blushing love letters never sent
helpless tears cannot spill anymore...
for they've already been spent.
 
lost inside a sea of freezing, moonless mists —
where hope, warmth
never, ever exist.
 
your sent invitations are always...
my sanctuary...
  sanctuary...
            sanctuary...
 
from chaotic plutonian storms.
