Glopowrimo 29 second prompt
First line... Dew on the digital print
Last line... The colour after blood has drained.
Dew on the digital print
My soul absolved of succubus guilt
I have transferred mildewed memories
In the House of Dreams rebuilt.
The finer details go missing
The cathartic core remains
Soft shaded nuances bypassed
Spiritum vitae retained.
How I stoked your sentiments
Under the resolute rubicon sun
My sins of commission
Your sins of omissions
Like blood on vellum runs.
A clinical digital print out
Of another imperfect time
When the well of thought ran deep
An offset world where a lithograph print
Engraved, was a memory we'd forever keep.
Now you do your dance
A daughter and son
Gracious by your side
I shed a drop
Of sweet requiem
And set the digital print aside.
Moving on with firm
Digital stroke
To another page
Another print
Another world
Upon queued up walls
Thus I evoke
Choice memories
Vicariously,
Impotently.
Wounds
No more
Stigmata for
Repentant soul
A war Glory
In pensive zone
The insipid sepia
After tones
Retrospective mural
Cold blooded runes
The colour after
Blood has drained.
