"I wish there was a way to cure the others, because they are killing me with their disease."  Just had to toss in another Morrell quote.  I think I'm in love with K. L. Morrell...

Visions

Visions reflected in past eyes
summoned your rapture of pain
and accentuated this crimson end
 

Blindness

Stranger’s darting turned on you
woman furled wanted you
love had saved when gates were found
walking safely couldn’t see
 

Death Rattle

The rattle of my lungs
fills the room with
another eerie reminder
of impending death

relief hasn’t come for days
though I’ve begged
still slowly drowning
though I’ve bargained
coughing until I vomit
though I deserve better
another day weaker
and it’s too late now

and the medicines assure
that I will die poor
the medicines are useless
though soon I won’t care

I know, this one started out so good and ended so lamely.  Well, this isn't your page, is it?
