Dear Goddess Hope
Born 1976, M, from Whitechapel, Australia
When first we met,
I was young,
Pure of heart,
And pink of lung.
You seduced,
But without form,
Coaxing, urging,
With kisses warm.
You drew me in,
With secrets told,
Of chances new,
And wisdom old.
As life’s toll took,
You came and went,
There when rich,
Gone when spent.
With fading voice,
Now do you sing,
Of vampire-tooth,
And demon-wing.
My lantern dims,
My engine weak,
With final breath,
Your love still seek.

Gone when spent.

Now do you sing,
Of vampire-tooth,
And demon-wing.
My lantern dims,
My engine weak,
With final breath,
Your love still seek.

07/09/2020What does a human being hope for in their last moments....that'd be a fascinating concept in itself.
This particular goddess is the manifestation of oxymoron......did I use that right? Oh well!
Awesome work Jason!

07/10/2020Thank you, Kanishka. You certainly have seen through to my original intent. Hope's a complex topic--the source of conflicting emotions and outcomes. I wrote this from a pretty bleak place but it became something else. : )
