FelicityS:
Thanks so much again for commenting on my work. I'm really flattered by the compliments. It's absolutely excellent to hear that someone enjoys reading my stuff, and as always, it means a lot. So thanks again!

Violette:
I'm glad to see that you came back to read again, and even decided to comment once more. I was surprisingly pleased with this last piece, but I was worried that it was a little bit off for some reason. I'm really glad that you guys liked it, and I'm sorry that I can't think of anything better to say. But your comments always mean a lot.

-------------------------------------------------

Here's a few more, on separate subjects.

If I'm lucky, maybe people will like these too!

Tell me what you think!

-------------------------------------------------

Apparition:

Generously,
And genuinely interested.

Infected, and infested with lies.
Battered and broken,
And bleeding, and twisted.

Visited by phantoms tonight.

***
Tonight;
Stay with me tonight.

One night...
***

One in awhile,
The past becomes a presence of its own.

Disconcerting periods,
Of vertigo.

Disconnected;
Misdirected light.

That deceives the eyes;
Infected, and infested with lies.

Battered and broken,
And pleading,
Please witness,
This sad,
But horribly meaningful existence.

***
Tonight.
Stay with me tonight.

One night...
One night...

Don't cry...
Everybody has to die.

I died...
We all die eventually.

Now, now,
Don't cry...
Don't cry...

Everybody has to die.

I died...

Eventually,
You'll die too.

-------------------------------------------------

Circumstantial Evidence:

Which way is up?

Direction has no meaning,
In a spiraling, infinite universe.

Indiscretion,
Fueled by misconceptions...

Haven't you heard?
Our word is law.

***

Law distorts the truth,
And bends the youth.

Giving quantities,
To objects, un-numbered.

Creating physics...

And numbering the numbers themselves.

Questions, lead to answers,
Lead to questions...

Comprise reality,
With sequences,
Of un-educated guesses.

Calling forth a multitude,
Of witnesses,
To witness this,
Desecration and perversion,
Of everything holy...

Haven't you heard?

Our word is law.

***
Everything you see,
And all that you believe,
Are cycles and,
Sequences,
Of un-educated guesses.

Laws are for the weak,
And simple minded.

Misleading our youth;
Manufacturing the truth...

Out of circumstantial evidence.

-------------------------------------------------

Acquiescence:

Seems that many a day has passed,
Since last I saw your lovely face.

A thousand miles I’d walk,
A thousand days I’d lay to waste.

If only for a moment,
I could see you smile.

If only for a second,
I could hold you,
Kiss you,
Touch you…

And hear you speak my name.
