-*-

I can tell you stories

on how this started;

I can take your spirit

and walk you with me.

Don't you dare to be afraid of

the recently departed;

they took one step further

and their souls are now free.

-*-

This inferno is our prison,

we're supposed to roam freely;

we're presumed not guilty,

but we rot in this place.

This spot marks the ending

of our dreams and desires

and the only solace is

hiding all our disgrace.

-*-

I can tell you stories

that will give you a grimace,

I can take your whole body

and return it all minced.

Don't you dare to be afraid of

the recently unbounded,

they took one step further

and were fully evinced.

-*-

This inferno is our prison,

we're supposed to roam freely;

we're presumed not guilty,

we will flee from this place.

This spot marks the starting

of our dreams and desires

and the biggest solace is

showing up full of grace.

Alex Torres

Started writing short stories back in 1988 at work, when I had an empty page to fill for the employee's internal magazine. Taking the pen again after a 30 year-long hiatus, exploring where it takes me this time.
