Spirit of the thoughts
A chance at old haunts
Wraiths wander in remembories
Spectres loosen chains and wail
Cacophony of the dead
Whispers of life extinguished
No longer dormant
Rising on the winds
Embracing wings of the vulture
Catching thermals straight from hell
Fumes of brimstone scented in singed hope
Burnt offerings
Heaved on the ethereal alter
Sacrifices of dust and bone
Flesh having been previously spent
Cost of doing business with the devil
Had I only recognized my own reflection
In the witches cauldron, in the midnight mirror
My intact form could then suffer on
This was a random collaboration from the comment section between the lovely Lorraine, and myself. Her words are italicized. But better yet more of her words are found at https://myfrillyfreudianslip.wordpress.com
Complimentary poetry started here https://myfrillyfreudianslip.wordpress.com/2016/12/17/words-become-necessary/

I love the way you and Lorraine and fleshing out these pieces – as I’ve told her on her site, there is this incredible intimacy in these pieces …. and how it all comes to pass – sheer magic!
Well done and highly creative you two 🙂
Can’t wait to see more of these come up 🙂

They is an erie chemistry between us. Almost like we have known each other in the past (She maybe a cyber stalker, secretly I have always wanted one 😉) I’m amazed that we can play the others words as our own without huge effort. The poems are really spontaneous and that is where the magic is. Thank you for the kind words

Whatever the connection – word chemistry you have going on – for whatever reasons, it’s really special – totally unique – almost “ghostly” – your words have that haunting and timeless quality … which makes the collaboration so different from other similar projects or works I’ve come across.
As for cyber stalker? LOL – as long as it’s on the good end of the spectrum, then who wouldn’t want one? 😉

I think curiosity might get a couple looking but faith in humanity is a tricky game. So my kitties tell me, looking upon an empty food dish
