Poem
(A lone voice whispers by candlelight) In a dark dream, Every night In The Great In-Between, Whenever I dream It's always the same I hear you scream "I'm here" In your soft pulsating voice Just hidden unseen Not wanting to be seen Then right out of the darkness and void Above that darkness's noise emanating such fantastical heat You appear like a half ghost in my midnight street and as my heart beats faster You take my hand and lead me deeper in The Hereafter Hidden still by the shadows, Bend low and whisper "Call me Madam Astor This realm's Pastor" And as your sharp fingertips play a deep country tune across my skin As my astral sweat drips faster Whenever my eyes start to spin and my soul speaks out and pleads to sin You dig your nails in Even deeper into my skin and whisper "Soon So soon, I'll come to you in that quiet bedroom For the last time In two days after the fall of the midnight king, and the rise of the morning spring I'll return to sing in this realm's unspoken rhymes, to make your spirit and eyes spin One last time Then fireworks will announce you're mine" And then you're gone Letting go of my hand Leaving me standing alone at the gateway to The Blue Portal The way back to the land of living mortals Gone with that soft pulsating goodbye ringing throughout my mind Like church bells But I can feel it's going to be soon you'll return As time undeniably does fly When you've been marked by a spell Somewhere in that places darkness The Hereafter For I've got goose pimples on my skin And tonights the fall of the midnight king and the rise of the morning spring And deep down I know You'll soon return So hear this my call I'm ready to take one last walk With you My dream enchanter from The Great In-Between Madam Astor My soul's attractor and captor The Great In-Between's Ghostly Pastor My beloved wife Who I once loved in the land of the living before Death Quietly crept up and grabbed her (C) Copyright John Duffy
