I would like to introduce my newest duet partner. I had the pleasure of writing this dark poetic adventure with Patty at petitemagique.wordpress.com. Check out her blog and all the unique and tremendous talent she has to share with us. She is a true inspiration to me and I hope you will see the same incredible talent I have come to know. Check out “Just Patty” here http://petitemagique.wordpress.com/
In the darkest of my hours, close to midnight
When I close my eyes, longing for a merciful dream
All I get is Nightmare’s solid bite
And my mind floats downstream
Behind guise of sleep my eyes pierce the veil of night’s tide
As I follow my consciousness down this passage dark
A shiny penny for the ferryman secures my ride
Along the rivers fiery current I shall embark
The movement of the waves sooth my withered heart
While the whispers of death guide my trip
Mind and body slowly drift apart
Strangely, I feel calm on this dead man’s ship
Flames reflect in liquid pools of Limbo’s estuary
As the faces of lost souls look up from below
Cast out into nothingness, no hope for sanctuary
I feel their grief, the emptiness they surely know
I wonder what will be my destiny
When this unbelievable journey comes to an end
Shall I burn or can I finally be free?
In which direction will my soul be sent?
Reflections in the depths of my life misspent
I watch my history dance in the rivers flow
My penance for wrongful deeds and what they meant
Too late for remorse as terror of hell-fire starts to grow
Ouch! A well-written firey collaboration my friend! You appear, based upon the collaborations you post, to work well with others. A fine quality! Hope your have a great week.
Thanks E. I do love collaborating. Not sure if it is your thing, but maybe you and I might put some words together sometime? I would love to duet with you if you would have me.
Thank you so much Jess. Patty Is a true talent and a pleasure to write with. I can assure you I am not always so dark, but do definitely find the dark side a much more inspirational and intriguing subject. I am usually a pretty happy guy tho so maybe this is how I let off the steam. LOL. Thanks for being such a supportive follower and friend
Thank you John, for the pleasure of working with you and your kind words!
I had a lot of fun and I hope we can write together some time again! 🙂
Love & Hugz

Yup. Remember our conversation on floating the river styx? Pretty sure I was harkening back to this poem I wrote with Patty when we were riffing on that. LOL.
Yeah. I remember. You were supposed to be looking for outboard motors.
Probably gonna just fit the gondola with a sea-doo jet ski motor and have a “HELL” of a time on the river of fire. LMAO
That’s very noble of you, but I pre-prevented this situation because you can’t stay out of trouble. Take my hand and picture the hills we are supposed to be climbing and I’ll smash persiphone’s stolen pearl. Lol.
Dark, brooding and melancholic. Strange fancies in the wee hours. Wonderfully evocative. Job well done by you and Patty.x
Thank you so much. It was another fun collaboration.

Of course I’d have you! Never done it before, so you’d need to school me a bit. Would be an interesting mix- one that has my head swirling…
Again, excellent. Always so dark, though… Makes one ponder. Thank you for introducing us to Patty! Have a great week, friend.

You eventually headed down the river Styx at some point too Phoebe? Perhaps we will see each other along the way
Well. You caused all kinds of trouble. Did you end up in a good place?
