Prepackaged pocket wraiths
Born to haunt this
evening….
Discarded unto
disconcerting haunts,
Ratcheting a
confession from some
Fraudulent honk…
Feeling disdain before purgation’s urge
And you then realize
You’re aware of your
positioning point
Where here you rest,
amongst the aisle
Of modulated remedies
and vanities benign
A vocation is born
when a villain is formed/one to rise against/one to clash bone to sword/all for
journey’s sake/all for jaunts you feel impended to “must-make”/a valediction
to, unwrapping our intrinsic resting state
Drams of forgiveness
Awaiting the hero’s
Return, who only ever
Flourishes when
departing
Vision’s clear
He’s
a heroic chap, one who takes nothing and gives
Much
more back, but you see, he’s got a death wish,
So
don’t give him more credit than he’s due, for he
Does
it for his own desires, caring not for how his ends
Mesh
with your wish for a savior.
And
while he certainly cherishes hope, he buys no stock
In
what it represents, for he’s smelled the scent far too many
Times
to realize it was a figment of congestion there that he’d find. So if your mind
sees him as this grand executioner of all that’s bad, so be it, so be it may,
be the only prayer he’ll allow this day…. but in such an era of unyielding
duress, you’ll take what you can, and that he’ll give, willingly, as he needs
it too.
The
shadow can be used for evil, yes it most devilishly can. However, what is so often omitted from the
lore one reads their children, strangely enough before they try to sleep at night
is that the shadows renew at the dearth of day, yet rely upon the light,
entirely. So, when utilized for one’s
might, it makes no difference if the user is wearing black or white, for the
shadow cares not about wrong or right, he simply is what he is and how he gets
what he wants, is of no burden or consequence paid. It is true that a shade can never be your
friend, but certainly it can be your arm of vengeance if so chosen to be. And the hero, the hero’s hero, will so
succinctly use it just the same, as any other object to cause fright, any item
there to play, anything that will help him chase away the demons and the fear,
giving back the prominence to a era desperate for the light…so what if it’s the
near-absence of, that allows the day to triumph over night…
interesting...right from the beginning...funny i saw at the store the other day 'pocket gods' and your pocket wraiths reminded me...smiles..when you break into prose this gets really intersting for me...the difference between shadow and light....and how heroes may not fall completely in the one...or be absent of the other...
ReplyDeleteA fake hero can be the worst, as they are just trying to quench some thirst and suck all in, so they can get more loot or whatever at their bin. A real one is all around, sometimes just the little things that are found. The villian is easy to spot, although sometimes they suffer from the equivalent of dry rot haha
