Anger rages from
The bottom of my heart
Digging deep
It flashes out fueling my art
🕯🕸𓂃🪶
Renamed passion
Gates unhinged
Desperate to divine the truth
Bare hands are thrust in
Inspiration worth any risk
🕯🕸𓂃🪶
Flesh melted
Bone exposed
Each revelation meticulously
Recorded in books and folders
🕯🕸𓂃🪶
My form
Sketched on plaster walls
I’ll roam the house
Upstairs, down halls
🕯🕸𓂃🪶
Would I call
This work a trap?
It’s a labor of love
Excavation with revamp
🕯🕸𓂃🪶
A person one day
Will find my corpse
Preserved with unguents
Aromatic and portentous
🕯🕸𓂃🪶
I will watch hovering above
As they pose in feigned horror
Rummaging through my finer things
🕯🕸𓂃🪶
The only proof I was ever in-dwelling
The mural of my soul
The tears I wept
Inking page after page
That no mortal ever reads
With words they didn't want to hear

CH 20~ Party Down
Argento’s ninth (eighteenth in earth years) Birthday came and went Thursday, the thirteenth, and he’d already received his father’s gift, if you could call it that. You had to commit a fairly serious infraction to be cut off; the Arch-Baron was keeping up appearances and maintaining his own reputation as much as any sense of love or attachment to Argento with his “gift.”
