Monday Melting #2 ~ Forgotten

Okay...I wrestled with the words last week bogged down with real world obligation, but made a vow to return to Shawna's Monday Melting ready to rip the words.  And what a selection she has provided...not one list but two! (Must have known it was another one of those weeks shaping up!) So dear readers, welcome to my offering...you can add your own too, The Monday Melting is waiting to see your take on the words!

There is magic and mystery
the shrill timbre of her song
buried in the moss
of a forgotten swamp
where they thought her secret
had been buried.

The moonlight drips like wax
Through an acid sky
that streaks like the blood
that stains the lace
where her ancestor's cameo
once rested at her throat.

It is on these August evenings
When lovers dance her banks
that her ghost rises
to reveal the bend
within their realities
When love and revenge
become one.

She desires not to be forgotten
cursed to sing her song
for an eternity
warped by an infinity
of love lost
of betrayal
of a heart tore free
and left to bleed.

Can't post a new poem without once again rallying all you writers and readers of poetry.  We're out to take over the world with our words...or at least have The Shorty's recognize poetry as an official category.  If you have a co-dependent relationship with the twitterverse like I do, I'd love to have you join my army and support my mission!
