A SÉANCE FOR LOVE

Crouched before the tombstone,
his fingers
rustled through the dried leaves laying
flaked by autumn
The smothering of both stalk and petal,
wilted roses
laid to rest upon the same earth the deceased
was laid on

A medium
cursed into this bouquet
that opened up the portals of the afterlife
A communion
with love beyond the shores,
the lucid embers of dawn emerging
after night


So he muttered enchanted words while
clutching her amulet;
Kissing the pendant at intervals,
invoking nature at her fiercest element

A revenge on death, he swore
with blood, curses and oaths
Singing his pain an “Ode of Remembrance",
reminiscent
about their love, passions
- the both:

“Oh little angel,
let down your spear
Avenge now Cupid,
till her foes disappear"
