a ghost ... haunting you love, as hand-in-glove the rarest kind ... conjoined bodies and souls spirit goals of a kindred cognition a singular volition of wills rills that trickled to one sea now run red ... dead, but for your compromise (god, I'll miss your eyes) romance askance, rhapsodic not a modicum of WE all on behalf of the golden calf how the darling devils revel and laugh at your conciliate folly ... at the wasted weep of angels and the silenced song of a nightingale trembling, yet ... like the pane it saw as sky a feather remains stains ... of love, lost the thickest blood - the cost of needs a heart's final thud ... now whacking words like weaving weeds one gaunt and ghastly ghost - this hellish host ...

That's very kind of you, Sir Edward, and I greatly appreciate the comments, my friend! This one is special to me for a number of reasons, but also not my regular style. Blessings, brother! :o)
